TIME.CO, Jakarta – PDIP faction member of DKI Jakarta DPRD, Gilbert Simanjuntak, said Governor Anies Baswedan failed to resolve it Jakarta transport. This can be seen from the severe traffic jams after Covid calmed down and Jakarta became polluted globally.
“The narrative that was constructed as if the transport had been successfully solved in Anies’ five years as governor is not in line with reality,” Gilbert said on Monday, September 26, 2022.
According to this PDIP politician, the measure used is aimed at physical development such as the purchase of transport equipment, not at the development of a successful system and paradigm in society.
“To quote Governor Anies, if you build Pharaoh’s physique, you can do it. The reality is that Jakarta wasn’t just congested in the initial period that Governor Anies took office because the TransJakarta Bus (TJ) lane had been completed and due to Covid for three years, “he said.
In the era of the previous governor, he said, there were extraordinary traffic jams, for example the route from Kuningan Rasuna Said to Ragunan could take 2-3 hours due to the construction of TJ bus lanes in all lanes and after completion, they were marked as if Governor Anies was working.
“This is a dishonest assessment. The addition of lanes, the number of buses and the integration of fares have not shown results in the form of regular transport or significant reduction in congestion,” Gilbert said.
Intermediate measure, not final result
The size used, he said, was more of an intermediate size (attorney), not the final result (final point) or impact (result) in the form of regular transport, resolved congestion or pollution reduction.
Cut between (attorney) which are used as the increase in the number of passengers after the completion of the bus lane, the small Jaklingko cars to the accommodation but the passenger supply at TJ is not optimal, the integration of applications is still being tested and other measures.
“Currently, at the end of Anies’ mandate after Covid has calmed down, Jakarta is experiencing severe traffic jams. Everyone knows that Jakarta is the most polluted city in the world. Pollution is the biggest contributor to transportation or cars and motorcycles.” , he has declared.
Gilbert said Anies should have spoken honestly because during the peak of Covid, Anies sported blue skies, even though community mobility was greatly curtailed due to the pandemic, transportation or the number of cars and motorbikes decreased.
“Now blaming pollution from other areas by saying the pollution doesn’t have an identity card. Even though the pollution was compounded by Anies’s reckless policy in the form of widening sidewalks and cycle paths that didn’t work but cost a lot of money and also cost human lives, that’s a secondary issue in transportation, “he said.
“Congestion is getting worse, (primary) public transport should be done first, then secondary transport. It will be a burden to Acting Governor of the DKI after, “he said.
