JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has planned to regulate working hours for office employees in Jakarta to relieve congestion. However, until now there has been no regulation that regulates the implementation of comprehensive working hours.

In fact, previously the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency had also held a further focus group discussion (FGD) to accommodate input from a number of parties regarding the plan to divide the office hours.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, admitted that it turns out that the DKI Provincial Government does not have the authority to regulate the distribution of working hours in private offices.

Therefore, Syafrin acknowledged, the government is only limited to giving an appeal to each company to share the working time of its employees who enter the office.

"For working hours, of course, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government does not have the authority because Jakarta does not stand alone. There is a Jabodetabek area. So, it was agreed that bahqa for the arrangement of working hours was handed over to each entity," said Syafrin when met at the DKI Jakarta DPRD building, Wednesday, January 25.

However, continued Syafrin, at least the DKI Provincial Government has implemented working hours arrangements for agencies within its government.

"The provincial government has done it now. For example, working hours for schools, the Head of Education has written a letter that it is at 7. Then the provincial government has also arranged," he explained.

Meanwhile, Traffic Director of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol Latif Usman said that the congestion index in Jakarta currently has reached more than 50 percent at 7,800 kilometers of roads in the capital city. This was conveyed by Latif in a working meeting of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD together with the ranks of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Tuesday, January 24.

"We haven't calculated the congestion index, but, my estimate since the end of 2022 has been above 50 percent. This is a common concern for how the current situation in Jakarta is," said Latif at the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building. Latif said, the current condition of traffic density in Jakarta is similar to what happened in 2019. Where, at that time the congestion index reached 53 percent. The congestion index reached 53 percent. The Jakarta congestion index in 2020 fell to 36 percent. Then in 2021, the figure fell again at 34 percent.Lative said, the reduction in traffic density in the capital city occurred due to restrictions on community activities. Where, a number of activities must be closed, school learning is carried out online, and many people work from home (WFH). ). "However, at the end of 2022, as the government relaxed restrictions and continued on the revocation of PPKM, congestion occurred at many points again. "Community activity after mid-2022, starting last July we have experienced almost the same activity for ourselves in 2019," he explained.
