Sandi views the size of motorcycle license plate number which is smaller than the cars’, will make it more difficult to monitor the violation of the odd-even policy.

The police asked the Jakarta administration to make regulations on the implementation of odd-even motorcycle license plate number after the Supreme Court revoked the motorcycle ban policy.

"We have conveyed the suggestion to the governor, we'll also have a meeting this afternoon," said Jakarta Metro Police's Traffic Director Comr. Halim Pagarra.

The deputy governor explained that the process of regulating the odd-even license plate policy will continue to be discussed with the Traffic Directorate and Jakarta Transportation Agency as the stakeholders.

During the process, Sandiaga Uno hopes to have the input from transportation observers in Jakarta.
