JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said that his party is currently drafting regulations governing 15 groups of people facilitated by free public transportation starting from Transjakarta, MRT Jakarta, and LRT Jakarta. The nominal budget subsidized to eliminate this service has been approved.

"What is our enthusiasm to start giving free money to public transportation, including yesterday's 15 groups in my meeting with the Deputy Governor. We have decided that for the 15 groups, we will agree to the figures," said Pramono at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Monday, April 21.

These fifteen groups will also be free to use Transjabodetabek services when the routes are officially operational.

"Thus, it remains only to determine when these 15 groups will be free to take the LRT, MRT or take the Transjakarta, which we will change later to Transjabodetabek," said Pramono.

Continuing, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, said that the inclusion of the three modes of mass transportation managed by the DKI Provincial Government to these 15 groups will take effect at the end of May 2025.

"Our target is according to the quick wins program of the Governor and the Deputy Governor, 100 working days, this at the end of May 2025 will be operational for tariffs of 15 free groups to the MRT and LRT," said Syafrin.

So far, these 15 groups have received free transportation services on Transjakarta. So, the DKI Provincial Government only needs to increase the budget for transportation subsidies at the Jakarta MRT and Jakarta LRT.

"It will take approximately Rp. 59.1 billion, for 2 modes of MRT and LRT later," he continued.

The 15 beneficiary groups consist of civil servants of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, retired civil servants, contract workers of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, recipients of KJP Plus, residents of the Rusunawa, PKK Mobilization Team, and employees with salaries equivalent to the UMP, residents with Thousand Islands ID cards, recipients of the Jabodetabek domicile racekin, members of the TNI/Polri, veterans of the Republic of Indonesia, people with disabilities, the elderly over 60 years old, administrators of houses of worship, PAUD educators, as well as jumantik groups, management of youth organizations, dasawisma, and posyandu.
