After Three Months Stopped, Biskita, Bogor City, Back To Paving

The Mayor of Bogor, Dedie A Rachim, revealed that Biskita was subsidized by the Bogor City Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) through the Buy The Service (BTS) scheme.

In addition, he emphasized that paving Biskita is the commitment of the Bogor City Government (Pemkot) as a form of service to the community in the form of mass transportation.

This is in line with the Dedie-Jenal Mission, Bogor Lancar, which is to make Bogor City a comfortable, modern city, and ready to face future challenges with an integrated transportation and infrastructure system and optimize public facilities.

"Yes, this is a commitment. The Bogor City Government has implemented a big concept of people's money returning to the people. The money we get from taxes, levies, and so on, we return it in the form of services to the community in the form of mass transportation whose tariffs we subsidize," said Dedie Rachi.

Dedie Rachim added, with Biskita's return to operations, community activities and mobility can be easier, cheaper, and have certainty of travel time.

The existence of this mass transportation mode, continued Dedie Rachim, is a form of joint commitment so that the transportation system can change in the future.

"We start again with a good mass transportation mode, on time, and cheap. What is certain is that it is more efficient and useful," he said.

A resident in East Bogor District, Bogor City, Andini, expressed his gratitude for the commitment from the leadership of the Mayor of Bogor, Dedie Rachim, and his Deputy, Jenal Mutaqin, who have realized Biskita's re-operation.

Disinggung mengenai tarif Rp 4.000, menurutnya hal itu sudah sangat murah dengan pelayanan yang cukup baik.

Namun, ia berharap kedepannya Biskita dan halte-halte yang ada bisa menjangkau lokasi-lokasi strategis lainnya seperti pasar-pasar tradisional, tempat pelayanan publik, dan sebagainya.

"If Biskita can enter the future of traditional markets or offices, that's even better. So it really helps, is more effective and efficient," he said.
