JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung thanked Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka for the transportation use policy in Jakarta.

"Thank you, Mas Vice President," said Pramono briefly when met in Sarinah, Central Jakarta, Friday, July 25.

Previously, Gibran highlighted the steps taken by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to increase the procurement of hundreds of electric-powered Transjakarta buses this year.

"I also appreciate the Governor of Jakarta. He is now adding a fleet for Transjakarta electricity. Here are 500 new buses at the end of 2025," said Gibran at the Green Impact Festival at the Djakarta Theater, Jakarta, Thursday, July 24.

In addition, Gibran also highlighted the policy of reducing public transportation services in Jakarta for 15 groups which he said could be imitated by other regional heads.

The 15 beneficiary groups start from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government Civil Servant, retired civil servants, contract workers from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, KJP Plus recipient students, residents of the Rusunawa, PKK Mobilization Team, and employees with salaries equivalent to the UMP, residents with Thousand Islands KTP, 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.

The policy requiring all employees of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to use public transportation every Wednesday is also considered good by Gibran.

"On Wednesday, ASN and its governors must take Transjakarta. I think this is a step that deserves appreciation and should be imitated in other cities," said Gibran.
