Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, hopes that the DKI Jakarta DPRD will soon allow the removal and sale of assets of 417 Transjakarta buses proposed since last year.
When proposing the removal of assets, the DKI Transportation Agency said that this Transjakarta bus would be sold or moved hands to other parties by auction with a value of around Rp. 21.3 billion.
Based on Article 331 of the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation 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.
Syafrin said that if the removal and sale of hundreds of buses were carried out immediately, this would minimize the theft of components or spare parts of the bus again.
Moreover, Syafrin emphasized that the bus was no longer suitable for use because it was eaten by age.
"Therefore, once the technical age and economical age have been completed, we propose to abolish the bus so that when the removal is carried out it will still come true," said Syafrin at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday, May 21.
417 Transjakarta buses that are no longer suitable for operation are parked in several depots in West Jakarta and East Jakarta. Of these, dozens of buses have been badly damaged, some even leaving only pieces of chairs and wheels.
"(The theft) is one of the risks of the old erasure process. Because once the bus is no longer used, usually many people take advantage of the situation and then remove the components on the bus," explained Syafrin.

In March 2023, the DKI Provincial Government proposed the removal of assets of 417 Transjakarta bus units to the DKI Jakarta DPRD. The reason is that the bus has been damaged, has reached the age it deserves to be removed, and the maintenance costs are more expensive than the benefits of its use.
The DKI Jakarta DPRD has not yet allowed the removal of hundreds of buses and auctions.
The DPRD has not given permission until now because the DKI Provincial Government is said to have never completed the documents needed to legalize the deletion and sale of assets belonging to the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency.
