In his business, he has experience to become the Operational Director of PT Eka Sari Lorena Transport, Tbk and the Commissioner of PT Alfa Omega Transport since 2014 until now," he expressed, as quoted from the Jakarta PPID's press release.

Surely the city appreciated his performance, which is deemed to have laid the foundation of integration of public transportation in Jakarta.

He hoped that PT Transjakarta could realize mass transportation that is safe and comfortable and affordable, thus people can travel on time and have an impact on improving the economy of Jakarta.

"And transportation integration could be smoother making it easier for customers to move between modes and reach all areas of Jakarta," he hoped.
