Online Taxi KIR Also Opens on Sunday

To accommodate demand of operator and online taxi owner, the Pulogadung Motor Vehicle Testing Service (PKB) opens kir service for online taxi every Sunday. 

Starting Sunday, we open kir service. This is due to high demand from online taxi owner

It is slated to open tomorrow, Sunday (9/4).

Pulogadung PKB Unit Head, Tiyana Brotoadi disclosed there are 20 taxis undergoing kir. But, this week, its number increased 130-140 units. 

Fail to KIR Test, Online Taxi will Be Grounded

The high demand is because the owner worry the officer will raid them someday. Moreover, Transportation Dept committed to raid taxis without having kir.

"Starting Sunday, we open kir service. This is due to high demand from online taxi owner," he told, Saturday (9/3). 

He added, since May until the end of August, taxis that have undergone kir were reaching 5,700 units. From that number, 3,200 of them passed and 2,700 units failed. 

"Until the upcoming October, the taxi that has kir book is targeted to hit 5,900 units. It is compliance with quota of Transportation Ministry," he finished.
