"All roads must be installed with TPE, and we can raise the tariff," said Basuki, City Hall, Tuesday (9/1).

According to him, the TPE concept is controlling parked vehicle number. The tariff is quite expensive and progressive.

"We force people not using the on street parking through this system," he added.

It means, Basuki continued, people will look for cheaper parking lot. Later, free bus will be also provided as another option of transport mode.

"The bus will standby at cheaper parking lot. Is it good enough?" Basuki continued.

Meanwhile, recruited parking attendant will be paid double from the province minimum wage (UMP). "It is hoped they will get enough income," he stated.
