JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono replaces the President Director (Managing Director) of PT Transport Jakarta. Now, M. Kuncoro Wibowo serves as President Director of Transjakarta replacing Mochammad Yana Aditya. Member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Anggara Wicitra Sastroamidjojo, revealed that Kuncoro has a lot of homework to do, ranging from improving safety aspects to optimizing services. "Every time there is a change of hope, it will get better results. We hope that Pak Kuncoro can finish it seriously," Anggara told reporters, Thursday, January 12. Kuncoro's main improvement is to ensure the safety of Transjakarta users. Given, the number of accidents involving Transjakarta buses is still quite high. A total of 508 accidents occurred throughout 2021 with 508 accidents. "This means an average of 43 cases per month. There must be improvements to passenger safety standards," said Anggara. In addition, Anggara asked Kuncoro to improve passenger services by adding a fleet so that the waiting time is shorter. This member of the PSI faction of the DKI DPRD also hopes that the new directors will work with the mandate because Transjakarta is tasked with providing public services subsidized by the APBD. “Transjakarta is a service-oriented company. The source of the money is from public money, both regional capital participation (PMD) and public service obligation (PSO) which are given annually,” he said. For information, Kuncoro's appointment was made through the decision of shareholders outside the GMS which was signed as of January 11, 2023. Kuncoro was previously the President Director of PT Bandha Ghara Reksa (BGR) Logistic, a subsidiary of BUMN from PT Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonesia (PT PPI), from September 2018. Kuncoro has also served as Director of Commercial and Information Technology of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) from September 2016 to August 2017. It is noted that Kuncoro also served as Director of Human Resources, General Affairs, and Information Technology of PT KAI from June 2012 to September 2016, as well as IT expert staff of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) from August 2017 to August 2018. Plt. Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Owned Enterprise Development Agency (BP BUMD) Fitria Rahadiani revealed that Kuncoro's work experience in managing transportation services at PT KAI was one of Heru's considerations in appointing him as the new Transjakarta leader. "The policy to appoint M. Kuncoro Wibowo as the President Director of PT Transport Jakarta, which has job experience in the transformation of the company, one of which is PT KAI (Persero), is expected to be able to make PT Transport Jakarta a catalyst for integration and strengthen the internal system for security, comfort and safety of public transportation," explained Fitria.
