Jakarta Bukan untuk Semua Orang

The report 'Jakarta Bukan untuk Semua Orang' critiques the current state of mobility in Jakarta, where traffic congestion and inadequate public transport create significant financial and health burdens for citizens. It argues that the classification of transportation as a 'non-basic mandatory affair' under Law No. 23 of 2014 leads to budget cuts and a lack of political will. The document advocates for a shift toward integrated, affordable public transport and electric buses, noting that electric bus operational costs in 2024 were approximately 9% lower than diesel buses.

• Traffic congestion in the Jabodetabek area results in massive annual losses, including wasted travel time, fuel waste, and increased pollution, with economic losses estimated at hundreds of trillions of rupiah per year.
• Public transportation is not legally positioned as a basic right in Indonesia; Law No. 23 of 2014 classifies transportation as a 'non-basic mandatory affair' (urusan wajib non-dasar), meaning its provision depends on political will and regional budget priorities rather than minimum service obligations.
• Regional government fiscal space for public services is shrinking due to cuts in Transfer to Regions (TKD) funds, making public transportation a sector that is easily sacrificed.
• Electric buses offer a more cost-effective alternative to diesel buses; in 2024, Transjakarta's electric bus operational costs were about 9% cheaper than diesel, while experiences in Medan showed energy cost savings of up to 79%.
• The lack of adequate public transport disproportionately affects low-income and vulnerable groups, for whom transportation costs are one of the most burdensome components of the cost of living.
