DKI Provincial Government Will Apply Purchase Of MRT-LRTJ-Transjakarta Tickets Based On Accounts

Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, said that his party would start a trial of implementing account-based ticketing (ABT) ticketing tickets at MRT Jakarta, LRT Jakarta, and Transjakarta in the near future.

The ABT system will be implemented through the Jaklingko application. Syafrin admitted that this account-based ticket purchase feature has been tested internally. The implementation had encountered problems, but improvements had been made.

"So last week, we did a trial. Indeed yesterday when we tested several technical obstacles that were minor and had been affected by Jaklingko Indonesia's friends," Syafrin told reporters, Friday, September 15.

Syafrin said that the Jaklingko BUMD also re-tested the application of the ABT feature by presenting several stakeholders to perfect its implementation.

"We hope that the test results can get a complete picture of the principles of ABT which we will implement in the near future," said Syafrin.

Furthermore, Syafrin explained that the account-based ticket purchase system aims to determine the profiles and habits of public transportation users in Jakarta, including the use of the running Rp10 thousand transportation integration rate.

"From point A, whether he only uses one mode then whether he is two modes, three modes. With data, we can estimate the need for the first and last mile of the traveler which will be prepared by the government," said Syafrin.

In addition, the implementation of ABT is also carried out to streamline the subsidies provided by the DKI Provincial Government. Later, the DKI Provincial Government will provide subsidies according to the big data collected.

"From this ABT, we get the profiling of all of our mass transportation users, whether it's Transjakarta, MRT, and LRT, which is then the basis for calculations for the efficiency and effectiveness of the implementation of PSO (subsidies) in the future," he said.
