BANDUNG - West Java Governor M Ridwan Kamil asked entrepreneurs to discuss the increase in public transport rates related to government policies that adjust subsidized fuel prices such as pertalite to Rp. 10,000 per liter from the previous Rp. 7,650 per liter. "What is certain is that the tariff increase must be discussed and decided not to be unilateral by transportation business actors," said Governor Ridwan Kamil at the West Java DPRD Building, Bandung City, Antara, Monday, September 5. According to him, the West Java Provincial Transportation Service is also calculating the increase in public transport rates following the policy of adjusting fuel prices by the central government. "Later, the Transportation Agency will calculate the proportion of how fair it is," he said. Governor Ridwan Kamil also invited the public to start using or switching to electric vehicles. "Also, in this era, the world's energy situation is increasingly unclear. I urge you if there is an opportunity, people start switching to electric vehicles, motorcycles if possible," he said. He said the West Java Provincial Government would assist and ensure that the distribution of direct cash assistance (BLT) for fuel subsidies had no impact because it was distributed directly through the Post Office to its recipients. "We will monitor the data so that those who are not entitled to it. We already have experience during COVID-19, nothing to clean up data up to 23 stages. That is to ensure that every person who receives social assistance during COVID-19 or increases in fuel are indeed those whose targets are around 20 million," he said.
