Transjakarta-MRT-LRT Tariff Only Rp1 Special For DKI Anniversary Tomorrow!

JAKARTA - Commemorating the 496th Anniversary of DKI Jakarta, the government is implementing Transjakarta, MRT Jakarta, and LRT Jakarta rates of IDR 1 specifically tomorrow Thursday, June 22, 2023.

This is stated in the Decree of the Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Transportation Agency Number e-0078 of 2023.

"In the context of the DKI Anniversary, Jakarta's mass public transportation will be free. Tomorrow, from 00.00 to 23.59 WIB, Transjakarta, LRT, and MRT services are 0 rupiah or free. However, for recording according to the bank, it is 1 rupiah," said Syafrin at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, June 21.

This policy was implemented last year. Where, during the celebration of the 495th Anniversary of Jakarta City, the tariff for Transjakarta and Jakarta LRT passengers was free and the MRT Jakarta only had a rate of IDR 1 on June 22, 2022.

This Rp1 tariff service in public transportation managed by regional-owned enterprises (BUMD) DKI is also like the usual use of services, namely using electronic money cards (KUE) such as JakLingko Card, JAK Card, Flazz, E-Money, Brizzi, and others.

Furthermore, Syafrin said that the imposition of tariffs of Rp1 on Transjakarta, Jakarta LRT, and Jakarta MRT services did not increase the burden of the 2023 APBD.

This is because the DKI Provincial Government has not disbursed a public service obligation (PSO) budget or a special subsidy to the BUMDs in the transportation sector.

"In this intensive provision on June 22, it does not add to the PSO ceiling which has been approved (during the determination of the APBD). There is no calculation of how much it will increase, that is not," explained Syafrin.

In addition to the special Rp1 tariff on public transportation, the DKI Provincial Government has also held various events to enliven Jakarta's anniversary this year with relevant stakeholders.

The events started from during the Picnic, Monas Week, the Jakarta Great Sale Festival, Lebaran Betawi, Jakarta Fair, Java Jazz, Akbar Emission Test, JakreatiFest, Wonder of Jakarta Fest Ancol, and others.
