Jakarta Governor unaware of proposed Rp60,000 hourly parking fee

Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has distanced himself from a proposed hourly parking fee of Rp60,000 for cars, stating he only learned of the figure when it went viral. He asserted that the proposal did not originate from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and that he was unaware of its source.

Anung emphasized that any decision regarding parking fee increases would involve careful consideration of various factors, including a reasonable rate for private vehicles in the capital. He confirmed that no decision has been made on the proposed fee, including the controversial Rp60,000 per hour rate for cars.

Jupiter, the head of the Jakarta DPRD's Special Committee on Parking Management, confirmed that the Rp60,000 per hour rate for cars was indeed proposed by the Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) during a meeting with the Regional Regulation Formation Body (Bapemperda). The agency also proposed hourly rates for motorcycles ranging from Rp3,000 to Rp15,000, and for cars from Rp6,000 to Rp60,000, with the rates varying by zone.

Jupiter acknowledged that the proposal is still under discussion within the DPRD and that the governor has stated it is not final. He invited the public to provide input on the proposed rates, assuring that the DPRD would consider all suggestions before making a final decision. The committee is open to public feedback to determine the ideal parking rates for Jakarta.
