TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) Transportation Management Agency or BPTJ urged Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to study the decision of Supreme Court, which annulled Ahok’s regulation on motorcycle ban through Jalan M.H. Thamrin.

Head of BPTJ Bambang Prihartono said that his institution will study the decision of Supreme Court. However, the Provincial Government of Jakarta should be able to work on for the motorcycle ban regulations can be maintained.

"Whatever the reason is, the local government should be struggling to organize Jakarta’s transportation to be better, because the authority is in the region," said Bambang when contacted by Tempo on Monday, January 8, 2018.

On its verdict, the Supreme Court granted the request from Yuliansah Hamid and Diki Iskandar to annul the Jakarta Governor Regulation No. 195 of 2014 which was made in the Ahok era, related to motorcycle traffic restrictions on Jalan M.H. Thamrin, Central Jakarta.

"To grant the petition for judicial review from Yuliansah Hamid and Diki Iskandar as the petitioners," said the Chief of Supreme Court Irfan Fachruddin, as quoted in the copy of Supreme Court verdict on Monday, January 8, 2018.

BPTJ sees that the regulation needs to continue to be applied for broad interest, which is safety. Therefore, BPTJ will coordinate with Jakarta Government to keep applying motorcycle ban regulation. "We see it from the point of view of transportation safety," he said.

In fact, BPTJ has recommended the Jakarta government to increase the extension of motorcycle ban in Thamrin and Jenderal Sudirman, when the Governor of Jakarta Anies Baswedan has just been inaugurated. "We have proposed the motorcycle restriction plan with the extension of location from Hotel Indonesia (HI) Roundabout to Bundaran Roundabout."

According to him, restriction on motorcycles is very important to reduce accidents. Motorcycle contributes to 70 accidents that happened on the road.

Moreover, motorcycle ban in the current location has provided cost savings transportation as Rp296 million per day from Rp103 Millar per year. The criteria for saving are travel time, cost, vehicle operation and accident rate. "In the future, motorcycles will be used only for short distances such as from house to station, so it will be parked near the station," said Head of BPTJ Bambang Prihartono.
