Reported by Erna Martiyanti | Translated by Cintya Meliza
Jakarta Governor, Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama, intends to buy diesel-fueled Transjakarta bus. But in order to make the bus operating in the city, he will propose Regional Regulation (Perda) amendment on Air Pollution Controlling to the City Council. Because in article 20 paragraph 1 of the regulation mentioned, public transportation and operational vehicles of city administration obligate to use gas fuel as an effort to control gas emission waste of motor vehicles.
In the regulation, we don't just change the gas, but it has to be friendly environment. Now all Jakarta Governments' vehicles also use diesel fuel
In the Regional Regulation amendment proposed, the fuel that can be used is friendly environment. Thus it is not only based on the gas fuel. "In the regulation, we don't just change the gas, but it has to be friendly environment. Now all Jakarta Governments' vehicles also use diesel fuel," said Ahok, at Gondangdia Train Station, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (6/10).
Ahok disclosed before the regulations changed, Transjakarta bus diesel-fueled will be operated at Night. Therefore, he applies high standard for the diesel-fueled bus. "For a while, we can operate the bus at night. There are Euro 3 and 4," he disclosed.
No New Tariff for Transjakarta BusAhok claimed the bus will be bought in large quantities.
"No problem if the bus excess, as we will operate the bus for 24 hours. Later on all buses integrated to enter all areas. That's the concept," he disclosed.
