Bogor City Government Scraps Over 100 Old Public Minivans Exceeding 20 Years of Age
The Bogor City Government in West Java has managed to reduce the number of public minivans (angkot) aged over 20 years following the implementation of Mayoral Regulation (Perwali) Number 11 of 2026 concerning the arrangement of public transport. Head of the Transportation Division at the Bogor City Transportation Agency, Dody Wahyudin, stated that the number of angkot over 20 years old has decreased from 1,780 units to 1,673 units, a reduction of approximately six percent within about ten days of the regulation taking effect.
“Alhamdulillah, to date, 107 public transport units have voluntarily submitted their route permits and vehicle inspection cards. The number has dropped from 1,780 units to 1,673 units,” he said in Bogor yesterday.
According to Dody, the decline is the result of a persuasive and educational approach carried out by the Transportation Agency towards vehicle owners, transport company legal entities, route managers, and the Organisation of Land Transport Owners (Organda) Bogor City. During the outreach, the agency explained the provisions of Regional Regulation Number 8 of 2023 on Transportation and Perwali Number 11 of 2026, which regulate the rationalisation, rejuvenation, and elimination of public transport vehicles over 20 years old.
He noted that the documents submitted by vehicle owners are still undergoing validation, so the number of angkot ceasing operations is expected to increase. The Bogor City Government is targeting the removal of 500 old angkot units from operation by August 2026 through a voluntary document surrender mechanism.
“We are continuing an intensive approach to legal entities, vehicle owners, and Organda so that the mandate of this Perwali can be implemented together,” he said.
Dody emphasised that field enforcement will be the last resort if the persuasive approach is ignored by vehicle owners. According to him, the success in gathering more than 100 old angkot units in a short time demonstrates the support of transport business operators for the city’s transport arrangement policy.
“This six percent achievement is a significant one. For business owners to surrender more than 100 units is not easy. This shows that owners, legal entities, and Organda support the government’s programme regarding public transport arrangement,” he said.
Perwali Number 11 of 2026 is a follow-up to Regional Regulation Number 8 of 2023 on Transportation. After the phase of terminating the operation of angkot units over 20 years old is complete, the Bogor City Government plans to continue with a fleet rejuvenation programme as part of the arrangement of a safer, more orderly, and modern urban transport system.
