JAKARTA - Member of Commission V DPR Sudjatmiko, asked the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) to immediately establish synergies with online transportation companies in the construction of shelters or special rest posts for online motorcycle taxi driver partners.
According to him, these facilities are important as a solution to the problem of illegal parking and online motorcycle taxi drivers hanging from the shoulder of the road. Where this often disturbs order and endangers road users.
"This is also the aspiration of online motorists when we are in recess," said Sudjatmiko, Thursday, November 20.
The PKB legislator also highlighted the number of public transport terminals that have switched functions or are not used. According to him, the terminal can be optimized as a place for two-wheeled online transportation stops.
Kita tahu sekarang terminal banyak yang beralih fungsi. Kalau bisa, kendaraan online masuk ke terminal sehingga tidak berhenti di pinggir jalan yang berbahaya, katanya.
Sudjatmiko said that several Regional Governments (Pemda) had expressed readiness to provide land for public facilities. He considered that shelters do not need to be large, in the form of motor stops' with basic facilities.
Two-wheeled riders need an electrical source. So small stops are enough, maybe not up to 200 meters, the important thing is that there are shelters, charging, and not stopping arbitrarily," he explained.
According to Sudjatmiko, online motorcycle taxi drivers are citizens who have contributed greatly to covering the shortage of public transportation. Therefore, he assessed, the provision of proper facilities is a form of appreciation as well as a solution to traffic problems.
Sudjatmiko also encouraged the Ministry of Transportation to take concrete steps for the sake of traffic order and the welfare of online transportation partners.
