DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung made the regulation in order to reduce congestion in Jakarta while increasing the number of users of public transportation.
Pramono targets the number of users of public transportation in Jakarta to increase to above 31 percent. Now, the use of public transportation in Jakarta has only reached 21 percent.
