Now, we change the operation time from initially at 9 AM becomes at 1 PM until late afternoon

Head of Jakarta Transportation Department Tow Executor, Adi Ansi, said that the illegal parking operation which held since November has successfully increased the regional retribution up to Rp 400 million. The income is obtained from 758 vehicles that towed to three terminals, namely Tanah Merdeka Terminal in North Jakarta, Cakung Terminal in East Jakarta, and Rawa Buaya Terminal in West Jakarta.

Even so, he also admitted that his party is now started having difficulties to hold the operation because the public begin to realize the illegal parking operation time. So when the operation is held, the areas that prone to illegal parking are already sterile. Outside that time, vehicles are parking haphazardly again on roadsides.

“Now, we change the operation time from initially at 9 AM becomes at 1 PM until late afternoon. And during the operation, the officers will be divided into three shifts, morning, noon, and night,” stated Ansi, Friday (11/14).
