said at City Hall, Monday (11/30).
Ahok admitted the replacement of board directors
from Region-owned enterprise (BUMD) seems easy. “It’s easy you know, because we
have 100 percent stock there,” he expressed.
He continued, during so far there is no harsh
sanction imposed against unruly Transjakarta operator by revoking contracts
agreement.
“Do you dare to revoke the contract? I bet you
don’t. It’s because you have no any sufficient fleet,” he stressed.
However, the authorization for purchasing bus has
been entrusted to the board directors but until now it has not realized yet. “I
told them to purchase more buses. Actually I have no problem with more
operators,” he uttered.

Transjakarta with one note that Jakartans willing to switch to public
transport. “I can give you huge subsidize with one note that residents use
public transport,” he closed.
