Jakarta Governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama questioned the performance of PT Transjakarta particularly in processing bus procurement to improve public transports.
We’ve budgeted Rp 3-5 trillion per years, but in fact they (Transjakarta) don’t able to purchase it
“We’ve budgeted Rp 3-5 trillion per years, but in fact they (Transjakarta) don’t able to purchase it. That’s why I wonder what happened with all this? Is there any connection between Transjakarta, Dishubtrans and operator?” he said at City Hall.
Basuki continued that City Administration has offered many times to metromini (mini bus) owner to join with Transjakarta and using rupiah per kilometer system. Even, he intends to prosper the drivers who have joined.

Basuki judged that City Administration has already being so kind to the owner and crew. Even, government seemed have already excused anarchy action that metromini’s crew done some time ago.
“Do you remember when you burned our Transjakarta bus in front of City Hall? We’ve apologized it. At that moment I offer the drivers to be trained,” he closed.
