JAKARTA - The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) is reviewing the implementation of a two-layer policy in the Puncak agglomeration area, Bogor, at the weekend, namely the permanent odd-even implementation (gage) and vehicle passenger restrictions, to overcome congestion and traffic congestion that often occurs. The Director General of Land Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation Budi Setiyadi said that the odd-even implementation still shows congestion and it is necessary to study the maximum passenger restriction of "4 in 1". We will use the second layer," Budi Setiyadi told Antara while watching the traffic flow in Puncak, Bogor, Sunday. However, when the volume of vehicles is still not controlled, layer two, namely "4 in 1" will also be applied. "4 in 1 means that one car is limited to four people, maybe like that," he said.

The Ministry of Transportation, he said, this week will coordinate with the Regional Leadership Communication Forum, including the Bogor Police, Bogor Police, Cianjur Police, Sukabumi Police, Sukabumi City Police together with the West Java Regional Police. 25 representatives. While developing the regulation, the odd-even implementation can still be carried out if needed. "We are developing regulations, testing if it is still not enough, we can do it again, but hopefully because we have coordinated with the community around Puncak who may have an interest in policies to suppress the spread of the virus. We will also involve COVID-19 and the community," he said. Meanwhile, said Budi, the implementation of odd-even in the first week was constrained by socialization, so there were still people waiting at the toll gates to see the free time for inspections, let alone looking for rats or roads. alternative routes to break through odd-even. "From the Police, currently they have anticipated. The problem is that many people don't know yet, so that it hinders which traffic can go up," he said.
