Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, emphasized that the plan to remove and sell assets of 417 old Transjakarta buses was not related to the 2012-2013 corruption case.
In that year, the former Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Udar Pristono, was proven to have committed corruption in the procurement of the Transjakarta bus fleet worth IDR 1 trillion.
This is what makes the DKI Jakarta DPRD not yet allow the DKI Provincial Government to sell assets of 417 Transjakarta buses that are no longer operating.
"All of them are buses that have been used in trasjakarta services and are free from the problem of procuring previous goods and services," Syafrin told reporters, Wednesday, May 22.
Syafrin guarantees that the inventory of bus assets that will be sold using an auction system at the DKI Regional Asset Listing Agency (BPAD) will not cause problems in the future.
"This means that all of these buses have been operationalized and in terms of technical age and economical age it has ended. So, this is handed over to BPAD to abolish its assets," explained Syafrin.
Therefore, Syafrin 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.
"BPAD colleagues have submitted to request approval from the DPRD for automatic removal. Just waiting for the approval letter and then by BPAD to the auction process," he explained.
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.
