"Previously, the ads was managed by third party. The building owner did not manage fully," Basuki said, Friday (9/25).

Meanwhile, the city administration asks 30 percent for non commercial ads, such as Jakarta Smart Card (KJP), Jakarta Health Card (KJS), and One Door Integrated Service (PTSP).

"We don't arrange the tariff, you do. If you have a strategic place, then you get expensive tariff," he added.
