Government of DKI Jakarta will increase Parking Tariff to Rp10,000 per hour. Is there not a better policy?

The Jakarta administration will implement Zoning System as an effort to progress in implementation of tariff increases of parking in the area of DKI Jakarta to fivefold. They were reviewing the arrangements that will result in effective policy mechanisms.

This zoning will be applied at the centers of activity, so that the road area used for parking will be reduced. They estimate that the use of roads for parking areas that are not regulated previously had caused losses of U.S. $ 900 million for the users of that road, because traffic jams it caused.

Besides reducing the parked vehicle, the Government obtained a source revenue (PAD) of 20% of the turnover of parking building management. With parking tariff of Rp 2000, - the government of DKI Jakarta earns USD 400 per vehicle. If car parking charges increased by Rp 10.000, - then the PAD of the Jakarta administration will also increase by five times as much or USD 2000, - per vehicle per hour.

But the Jakarta administration would not think of additional cost burden to be borne by the Community? Are all the solution to problems must be made through the addition burden of cost of living of the poeple of Jakarta?

Is not there a smarter solution, without burdening the cost of living Rakyat Indonesia, such as with the implementation of the National Movement of Telework (GNT) or the National Telework Initiative (NTI) that can be done simultaneously in a short time to give real impact on traffic congestion problems, full parking places

Is not there a smarter solution, without burdening the cost of living Rakyat Indonesia, such as with the implementation of the National Movement of Telework or the National Telework Initiative that can be done simultaneously in a short time to give real impact on traffic congestion problems, full parking lots, and the increasing need for fuel oil (BBM) due to the length of time the journey that must be adopted.

Let us support the National Movement of Telework (GNT) or the National Telework Initiative (NTI) to implement in the workplace each simultaneously in the not too long.

Please be positive and creative responses to the progress of the nation and state.
