TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Land Transportation Organization (Organda) awaits the decision from Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama before dropping transportation tariff.
Head of Jakarta Organda Shafruhan Sinungan said that he has sent a letter that informs tariff adjustment to Ahok today, January 20. "Governor Ahok will invite us for a meeting before confirming the new tariff," Shafruhan told Tempo.
The plenary meeting of Jakarta Organda on Monday, January 19, decided to drop transportation tariff by Rp 500. Shafruhan said that the initial proposal was 5 percent, or Rp200. However, Organda agreed that they would round it up to Rp500.
Previously, the Transportation Ministry had issued a letter informing transportation tariff drop by 5 percent. The drop relates to the fuel price drop, taking place earlier this week as well.
