For short-term, he furthered, Kliwono must quickly analyze the performance of Transjakarta employees. He was given the authority to replace employees who could work better.
"He have to analyze manager from low level to be selected," he exclaimed.
While for metromini matters, Basuki believed the owner will join with Transjakarta soon.
"If not, they will go bankrupt. Just take it easy, the important thing is we can purchase the new fleet," he closed.
