ILLUSTRATION BETWEEN

JAKARTA - The Indonesian Bike to Work (B2W) cyclist community asked the Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono and the ranks of the DKI Provincial Government to open data on the development of bicycle lanes in the capital city.

However, unfortunately the B2W request did not receive a response from the DKI Provincial Government. In fact, B2W had previously met Heru to convey their complaints that the DKI Provincial Government no longer pays attention to the safety of bicycle users.

"B2W Indonesia asked for information and data, as well as reports on the results of optimization, related to the development of bicycle lanes in Jakarta, but again it reached a dead end - not getting a response," said B2W Indonesia Chairman Fahmi Saimima in a short message, Thursday, February 22.

Data regarding the DKI Provincial Government's policy on this cyclist facility, continued Fahmi, is needed as the necessary document to sue Heru to the State Administrative Court (PTUN).

B2W plans to sue Heru on suspicion of malpractice in bicycle lane management in Jakarta.

Therefore, Fahmi said that his party was asking the DKI Jakarta Information Commission regarding the data needs that were not provided by the DKI Provincial Government.

"We are going through the request stage to KIP, the public information committee, regarding the many documents that we can cross-check there. The time is not short," said Fahmi.a

Along with this, B2W also reported Heru Budi to the Ombudsman Representative of DKI Jakarta on suspicion of malpractice in the management and maintenance of bicycle lanes in the capital city.

Fahmi said, this report is the initial stage of B2W Indonesia's efforts to demand that the DKI Provincial Government optimize the safety of cyclists.

"We made it (report to the Ombudsman) an initial foothold towards our lawsuit process at the State Administrative Court," explained Fahmi.

"Because if we go to the Administrative Court first, the Ombudsman cannot give recommendations for litigants. Therefore, our parallel is through the Ombudsman," he continued.
