Head of the DKI Transport Division ensures that MRT-LRT rates will not increase, transj adjustments must

Jakarta -Head of DKI Jakarta Transport Service, Syafrin Liputo, said Jakarta Mar and Jabodebek LRT tariffs did not increase, although there was a decrease in revenue funds (DBH) from the central government to the Jakarta provincial government of almost IDR 15. He said the analysis of Mar and LRT tariff subsidies is still being calculated. “So, for transport subsidies, I ensure that MRT and LRT tariffs do not increase. Because it is based on users’ ability to pay analysis, it is still within the current tariff boundaries. So, if we look at last year’s calculation, the economic figure for MRT tariffs is 7 thousand. Mar and LRT tariffs, ”Syafrin said on Friday (9/10/2025). Browse to continue with the content, Transjakarta Fares said, says sheafrin should tackle adjustment. Because the RP. 3 500 rates have been applied since 2005 when the bus has not yet changed its name to Transjakarta. “For Transjakarta, if we do a study, the tariff was last set in 2005. In 2005, twenty years ago, it was IDR 3,500, then we look at the provincial minimum wage figures at the time, compared to now, it is 6 times that it is now (Jakarta UMP), IDR 5,3 million, IDR 5,3 million is divided by 6. “Syafrin also touched on the inflation rate that is still increasing. He said, if the price of goods in 2005 is compared to today, there would have been a 2.87 times increase.” And if we look at the inflation figures, our average inflation has been 5.4 over the past 20 years. If we calculate 5.4 in 20 years, it means that there was an increase in inflation of 186.7% inflation. Or if we compare it to the price of goods, it means that the prices of goods have risen 2.87 times, “he said. Sheafrin said that adjustments to transjakarta tariffs were needed. Until now the tariff increase was not implemented.” And for this reason, a tariff adjustment is needed. Why, because we have to maintain the continuity of the service. Because the service should have something that should be called a minimum cost recovery, and then the rest can be covered with subsidies, “sheafrin said.” Based on our analysis, tariff adjustments for transjakarta should be needed, even if not yet, “he added. (Bumd) asked to think about finding a financing scheme after the Jakarta Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH) was cut by IDR 15 trillion. The era of the use of large funds without strict supervision is therefore over. Now we will definitely monitor it specifically, “Pramono Anung told journalists in the City Hall, Central Jakarta. Pramono admitted that Jakarta’s DBH track was very large. However, he said it should not be a hindrance to the management of the program.” Jakarta’s cuts are indeed the largest. And it is a challenge for me and the deputy governor to complete our targets well, “he said. For this reason, Pramono also encourages bumds to be more creative in implementing their programs. He asked Bumd to find partners to realize their program.” Dukuh Atas, the Dukuh Atas CEO, who received approval from us, from me and the Ministry of Transport, will still be built, but the mechanism does not use APBD funds. So it is done with partnerships and so on, “he said. Pramono explained that the provincial government has so far issued a lot of subsidies, for example public transport. He said, the transjakarta tariff is IDR 3.500, the subsidy is almost IDR. 15,000 per person. for poor or less privileged residents will not disturb, “he continued. It is known that the 2026 DKI APBD will decrease with IDR 15 trillion to IDR 79 trillion. it? ‘: (cover/Eva)
