JAKARTA - The Free Motorcycle Transport Program (MOTIS) was again implemented this year by the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation to accommodate the enthusiasm of the community in carrying out Lebaran homecoming after two years of not going home.
The Director General of Railways at the Ministry of Transportation Zulfikri accompanied by the Director of Traffic and Railway Transportation, Risal Wasal, released the first departure for Free Motorcycle Transport (MOTIS) at the Jakarta Gudang Station today.
Zulfikri said the MOTIS program was again implemented to improve the safety and comfort of travelers, especially for users of two-wheeled vehicles.
Since it was first held, he said, the MOTIS program has recorded a fairly good trend of service growth. At the last implementation in 2019, this program succeeded in transporting 19,141 motorbikes for 3 service lines, a drastic increase from the number of 827 motorbikes transported at the beginning of the implementation in 2013.
Furthermore, Zulfikri said that this year DJKA has prepared 9,280 MOTIS transportation quotas.
"As of Monday, April 25, registrants for the MOTIS program have reached 2,524 participants and there are still 6,756 quotas for MOTIS transportation that can still be ordered," he said in Jakarta, Tuesday, April 26.
Therefore, Zulfikri invites the public to be able to take advantage of the quota that is still available and not to force themselves to use two-wheeled vehicles for long-distance trips.
Zulfikri added that this year the MOTIS program will serve North and South traffic with 11 service stations, namely Jakarta Gudang Station, Cirebon Prujakan Station, Purwokerto Station, Kroya Station, Kutoarjo Station, Lempuyangan Station, Klaten Station, Purwosari Station, Tegal Station, Pekalongan Station. , and Semarang Tawang Station.
"Moreover, there are 13,800 seats that have been specifically provided for MOTIS transportation participants and can be used by people who have run out of regular tickets," he said.
The available seat quotas for MOTIS participants include the trains connecting Pasar Senen - Semarang Tawang (pp), and Pasar Senen - Purwosari (pp).
Zulfikri expressed his appreciation to all parties involved in the implementation of MOTIS transportation.
"For the passengers and participants of MOTIS, we wish you good luck and wish you a safe journey to your destination," he said.
