JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan delivered a Tarawih prayer lecture at the UGM Mosque, DI Yogyakarta. During the lecture, Anies discussed urban problems, especially those in Jakarta.
In his lecture, Anies showcased the achievements of the Jak Lingko program which he initiated when he led Jakarta. Anies said that JakLingko was initiated when he saw the fact of the inequality between Jakarta residents and their motorized vehicles.
"A city like Jakarta, one of the biggest challenges is the movement of its population. Jakarta officially has a population of 11 million now, but two-wheeled motorized vehicles have 13 million," said Anies in a Youtube broadcast of the UGM Campus Mosque, Thursday, April 7 evening.
What happened, said Anies, was that Jakarta was facing traffic jams. Therefore, Anies wants to reduce the number of private vehicles and increase the number of public vehicles with the JakLingko program.
In this program, Anies gathered dozens of angkot, metromini, and kopaja operators. To them, Anies offers operators the management of public transport payments per kilometer. Meanwhile, the public pays IDR 5,000 for a duration of 3 hours and is allowed to change transportation.
"Create a system called JakLingko. JakLingko was a system that used to be, residents and public transportation, they made transactions. We are part of the government making regulations. We will change it, our vehicle operators buy their services. We buy your services per kilometer per day," said Anies.
As a result, Anies continued, the operators also agreed to join the JakLingko program. Anies claimed that the JakLingko program was successfully implemented without inviting problems between the operator and the DKI Provincial Government.
"They have a contract with the government to be served for years. So, they replace it without hurt. No metromini, evicted kopaja, and no drama. All finished without drama," said Anies, which was greeted with applause.
After the JakLingko program, Anies said that the current condition of public transportation is getting better. Anies admits that he rarely sees reckless public transportation on the road.
In fact, he said, the number of passengers on public transportation is currently increasing. "What happened after that was done? This is subhanallah. We didn't expect it to be like this. In the past, every day in Jakarta, only 350 thousand people took public transportation. After the new system was created, it increased to 1 million people per day," he said. he.
