Bogor City Government Seeks Moratorium on City Transport Vehicles from Bogor Regency

The Bogor City Government will submit a request for a moratorium on city transport (angkot) permits to the West Java Provincial Transportation Agency (Dishub Jabar). Bogor Mayor Dedie A Rachim explained that the moratorium would apply to angkots originating from Bogor Regency that enter Bogor City. “So, I am reminding the Provincial Transportation Agency not to add any more. How? Through a moratorium. Yes, don’t issue any new permits,” Dedie clarified in Kayu Manis on Monday (13/4/2026). Meanwhile, the Bogor City Government is reorganising the 20-year age restriction for angkots in accordance with Regional Regulation Number 8 of 2023. “Don’t let Bogor urban transport be organised so that those over 20 years old no longer operate, but those from outside still do,” he said. The moratorium will be discussed today in Bandung with the West Java Provincial Transportation Agency, as well as the transportation agencies of Bogor Regency and Bogor City. “The discussion will also involve the Regency Transportation Agency, the Provincial Transportation Agency, and the Bogor City Transportation Agency,” Dedie stated. The Bogor City Government is currently organising angkots to ensure the safety and comfort of mobility for residents using that mode of transport in Bogor City. Currently, the government is still drafting a Mayoral Regulation (Perwali) as a derivative of the regional regulation on the age limit for public transport. In January 2026, Deputy Mayor Jenal Mutaqin prepared plans for new angkot corridors. “However, with the stipulation that affected parties must comply with the rules, submitting documents for vehicles aged 20 years or even 22 years. After that, reorganisation will be carried out on corridor routes in accordance with the forthcoming Mayoral Regulation,” Jenal said, quoted from a written statement on Tuesday (27/1/2026). Thus, route arrangements will be adjusted to the needs of each corridor zone. This is seen as a solution to address the imbalance between the number of passengers and the number of angkots, which has been a complaint from residents. The elimination of the 20-year age leniency requires technical details until the Perwali is enacted. “In the meantime, raids related to the 20-year age limit have been halted, but enforcement regarding driver’s licences and vehicle registrations continues as usual,” Jenal said.
