Actually, Hartono continued, BPKD in this matter is only preparing the assets and budget, not handling employee matters which supposed to be handled by the Economic Bureau. Thus, his party will coordinate with the Economic Bureau, Manpower and Transmigration Department, and Transportation Department.

Hopefully this Transjakarta UP employees matter could be resolved. Jakarta Transportation Department and other units already have a pattern, so we just need to combine it,” he stated.
According to Hartono, in accordance to the instruction of Jakarta Governor Basuki T Purnama, the deadline for transitional status of Transjakarta UP to PT Transportasi Jakarta is December 31, 2014. The trillions of rupiah assets consist of bus stops, bus pool, Transjakarta bus fleets, and so on. The whole data collection of these assets is targeted to finish this month.
“We’re currently re-calculating the depots which spread in Cawang, Kalideres, and Cilincing. If it’s summed up, the (Transjakarta UP) assets are worth Rp 1.2 trillion,” he said.
