JAKARTA - Head of the Operations Section of the Bogor City Police, Kompol Prastyo Purbo, said from the PT Jasa Marga report that the volume of vehicles entering and leaving the Bogor Toll Gate at Baranangsiang was still low, so odd-even (gage) did not need to be enforced. , far away," he said in Bogor City, quoted from Antara, Sunday, January 9.

According to him, the implementation of odd-even vehicle number plates remains an optional policy that will be implemented if there is a vehicle density on weekends during the implementation of level 2 community activity restrictions (PPKM).

The timing of odd-even times is on weekends, considering the number of vehicles used to increase when people are off from work.

The regulation was prepared for Friday, Saturday and Sunday since the tightening of public mobility ahead of the Christmas and New Year's 2022 holidays.

At that time, five police chiefs gathered at Simpang Gadog, Jalan Puncak, Cisarua to compactly enforce the odd-even license plate number of vehicles to reduce congestion and crowds of residents from the area around the Jabodetabek residents' favorite area.

The five police chiefs are Bogor City Police Chief Kombes Pol Susatyo, Bogor Police Chief AKBP Harun, Cianjur Police Chief AKPB Doni Hermawan, Sukabumi City Police Chief Zainal Abidin and Sukabumi District Police Chief Dedy Darmawansyah.

But in reality, the policy for odd-even vehicle number plates was never implemented in the city of Bogor at that time, until the first week of January 2022. However, the two regional heads of the Bogor region, the Mayor of Bogor Bima Arya Sugiarto and the Regent of Bogor Ade Yasin, still contain the odd-even option in the Bogor Regent's Decree (SK) Number 443/15/Kpts/Per- Law/2022 and Bogor Mayor's Circular (SE) 440/122-HukHAM regarding the extension of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) for two weeks starting January 4-17 2022. "So, as said by the Mayor of Bogor, Mr. Bima Arya odd-even will still be carried out situationally, not yet," said Prasetyo.
