JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has set eight strategic steps for the DKI Provincial Government to respond to the increase in fuel oil prices (BBM) and anticipate the impact in Jakarta. This was decided in the meeting of the Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID).
The eight strategic steps are optimizing social safety nets; increasing cooperation between regions in order to maintain food stocks; conducting joint monitoring of food availability and prices.
Then, ensure that Transjakarta, MRT, and LRT rates do not increase; ensure that food subsidy prices in the community do not increase, propose an additional subsidized fuel quota for fishermen; ensure that food distribution is safe and smooth; and promote planting movements.
Regarding controlling public transportation rates, Anies emphasized that the DKI Provincial Government will disburse an additional subsidy budget, namely public service obligation (PSO) to Transjakarta in the amount of Rp. 62.1 billion to Transjakarta and Rp. 4.2 billion to the navy.
Thus, Anies emphasized that public transportation managed by the government did not experience an increase in tariffs.
"So the public who take the Transjakarta bus does not need to feel the increase in the price of public transport rates because it is very much needed," said Anies, quoted on Sunday, September 11.
In addition, the efforts made by the DKI Provincial Government are also expected to make people move to use public transportation because they are not affected by the increase in fuel.
"About that way, people who use public transportation feel stability and secondly, who use private vehicles, come on, move to public transportation because it is cheaper and the range is 92 percent of the Jakarta area," explained Anies.
Furthermore, Anies also instructed his staff to optimize and ensure that all subsidies and social safety net programs from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and from the Central Government are immediately distributed properly. So that people will get calm and atmosphere becomes conducive.
The acceleration of food subsidies and all social safety net programs from both DKI and the center will be carried out immediately. Reflecting on the experience during the pandemic where we work quickly to provide and distribute all social safety net programs," he said.
