Jakarta Governor, Basuki T. Purnama, is considering to apply odd-even plate number as the replacement of 3 in 1. Odd-even decision would be issued after evaluating 3 in 1 abolition trial in the next two weeks.

If the traffic is still similar, odd-even will not be used

“It depends on trial evaluation. If the traffic is still similar, odd-even will not be used,” he said, Tuesday (5/4).

Odd-even traffic system was ever proposed several times ago. This system should operate before electronic road pricing (ERP). The plan was dismissed since ERP system could run faster.

In fact, ERP system operation is still postponed due to difficult regulation. Basuki targets to run it this year.

According to him, odd-even system has been reviewed before. If it is applied he requested city police readiness to avoid accepting plate number changing.
