JAKARTA - Plt. Head of the Regional Owned Enterprise Development Agency (BP BUMD) Riyadi said that Transjakarta Operations Director Prasetya Budi was dismissed from his position.

Riyadi said that Prasetya Budi was removed after going through an evaluation to improve the performance of Transjakarta directors.

"Yes, that's right. This is the result of a long evaluation. After going through an evaluation to encourage performance improvements and service quality, there needs to be a refresher," said Riyadi when contacted, Tuesday, December 28.

Some time ago, Transjakarta buses often had accidents and were in the spotlight. In fact, the board of directors of Transjakarta was questioned by the DKI DPRD. However, Riyadi denied that Prasetya's dismissal was related to the accident.

"Nope. Actually, the evaluation has been going on for a long time. We do routine, continuous evaluations. We evaluate all BUMDs," said Riyadi.

Moreover, he said, the Transjakarta bus accident investigation conducted by the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) did not issue a recommendation for the dismissal of the Transjakarta board of directors.

"NTSC does not recommend personal, yes. KNKT recommends technical aspects, only safety. So, KNKT does not recommend replacing this, replacing it. The KNKT recommendation is related to transportation safety aspects," he said.

Thus, currently the position of Director of Operations is filled by the former Director of Operations of PT Hutama Karya (Persero), M. Indrayana. However, Riyadi said there was an opportunity for a director position rotation after Indrayana joined Transjakarta.

"So, after the change, there will be a rotation. So, those who hold operations who already have experience in transportation," he added.
