Syafrin said, one of the objectives of the implementation of ABT is 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 our mass transportation users, whether it is Transjakarta, MRT, and LRT, which is then the basis for calculations for the efficiency and effectiveness of the implementation of PSO (subsidy) in the future," he said.
