        "summary": "The Jakarta Transport Council has proposed ending the free fare for the Jaklingko Mikrotrans service, suggesting a Rp2,000 charge for single trips and Rp5,000 for integrated journeys with Transjakarta. The move aims to improve passenger data accuracy by preventing fraudulent tapping practices that inflate ridership figures. The current free service was initially intended as a trial to improve first-mile and last-mile connectivity.",
        "content": "<p>The Jakarta Transport Council (DTKJ) has proposed that the Mikrotrans\nservice, known as Jaklingko, should no longer be free for the public.\nThe proposal aims to ensure the number of passengers using the service\nis accurately recorded.<\/p>\n<p>DTKJ Chairman Sugihardjo revealed that the current Rp 0 fare for the\nMikrotrans service was part of a trial for the feeder transport system.\nThe trial was conducted to ensure the public could easily access\ntransportation from their homes to bus stops or stations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPreviously, Mikrotrans was a trial to ensure the first-mile and\nlast-mile connectivity works. So from home, you can connect directly to\nBRT or non-BRT services. Because it was a trial, the fare was Rp 0, but\nit has continued,\u201d he said at Jakarta City Hall on Friday\n(3\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the Mikrotrans service should be paid. However, the\nfare imposed must not burden the public. In his proposal, Sugihardjo\nstated that passengers would be charged a fare of Rp 5,000 to access\nintegrated Transjakarta services within the city. With this fare,\npassengers would not incur additional charges when transferring between\nTransjakarta BRT, non-BRT, or Mikrotrans services.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, for people who only use Mikrotrans without transferring to\nother services, a fare of Rp 2,000 is proposed. \u201cWe are proposing Rp\n2,000. So this means it will change from not paying to paying,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, imposing a fare is important for passenger data\ncollection. This is because there have been practices that manipulate\nactual passenger data in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Sugihardjo explained that the contract between Transjakarta and\nMikrotrans operators includes targets for kilometres travelled and the\nnumber of passengers that must be met. When the service was free,\ncertain parties would tap cards solely to increase passenger numbers, as\nno fare deduction occurred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, with the Rp 2,000 fare, would I still want to tap cards\nrandomly? My money would run out. So the data will be more real,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>",
