Ombudsman Wants KIR Test to Be Supervised Tightly"A lot of taxis are not yet undergoing KIR test. This shows low awareness from the car driver," he told, Monday (8/1).
It is also caused by unoptimal coordination between company with caretaker in the field and concern at the drop in the selling price of the ex-online taxi, as well as refusal action from the driver for labeling in form of number examination on the chassis.
That is why, his party and Polda Metro Jaya Traffic Directorate and Army will continue to hold the raid. The target is online-based taxi, such as Grab, Uber and Gocar.
Such vehicles will be raided because of not having KIR certificate from Pulogadung UP PKB and supervision card from Jakarta One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (BPTSP).
