"I want the fare to be Rp 3,500. Therefore I force APTB to follow it because if they refuse it, they'll take disadvantage," he said, at City Hall, Wednesday (12/23).
According to him, Jakarta Provincial Government will give subsidy or public service obligation (PSO) for citizens. With the system, public transports companies which are reluctant to pay with the system will be automatically bankrupt.
