Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo says his administration is working on a regulation to govern public vehicles operating conditions such as how old the vehicle is.
“Jakarta will have a regulation that stipulates the age limit for public vehicles,” he said on Sunday as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
He said that the regulation would ensure passengers’ safety and comfort and reduce emissions.
“We are thinking of implementing the regulation as it has been implemented in developed countries,” he said.
The Jakarta Transportation Agency plans to set a 10-year vehicle age limit for big buses, eight years for medium buses and seven years for mini buses (mikrolet) and taxis.
However, he said that the regulation would first be discussed with several relevant parties in the matter.
"At the moment, we are waiting for inputs from parties involved such as Organda (the Organization of Land Transportation Owners) and operators," he said.
