JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has asked for permission from the DKI DPRD to remove assets of 417 Transjakarta buses that have not been used. The reason is that the bus has been damaged, has reached the age it deserves to be removed from its assets, and its maintenance costs are more expensive than the benefits of its use.
In connection with asset removal, the 417 Transjakarta buses will be sold or changed hands to other parties by auction. The Transportation Agency estimates that the auction value from the sale of the bus will reach IDR 21.3 billion.
Based on Article 331 in the Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 19 of 2016 concerning Management of Regional Property, it is stated that the transfer of goods or assets belonging to the region with a value of more than IDR 5 billion needs approval from the DPRD.
"Based on the value of the KJPP (public assessment service office) in 2021, for 417 operational service vehicles (bus Transjakart) this is Rp. 21.3 billion. God willing, if the approval is issued by the DPRD, we will conduct an open auction," said Head of the Regional Asset Management Agency Reza Pahlevi at the Commission C meeting of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Wednesday, March 8.
Based on the explanation from the Secretary of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Ismanto, to Commission C of the DKI DPRD, the 417 Transjakarta buses have been operating for more than 7 years until they are no longer fit for operation, both diesel and BBG fuel.
The brands of Transjakarta buses range from Zhongtong, Yutong, Hino, Mercedez, Hyundai, Komodo, Ankai, and Inobus. Now, the buses are stored in a number of pools and Transjakarta bus terminals.
"For the 417 units that want to be abolished, this bus unit is already operating. Procurement from 2003 to 2013. In detail, the procurement process fleet has been operated by each operator in a certain corridor," explained Ismanto.
Ismanto explained that the proposed removal of Transjakarta bus assets by the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency had been submitted since 2018. However, the DKI Provincial Government took a long time to fulfill the completeness of the deletion requirements document.
Until 2022, former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has just submitted a request for approval for the abolition of hundreds of Transjakarta buses to the DKI Jakarta DPRD.
Now, the DKI DPRD is following up by reviewing the feasibility of removing Transjakarta bus assets along with matching the auction value that can be received by the DKI Provincial Government, before agreeing to remove the assets.
