Motorized vehicle emission tests

Motorized vehicle emission tests

From Koran Tempo

The Coalition for Clean Air has issued an evaluation saying
the city of Jakarta needs about 150 - 200 workshops for the
implementation of a motorized vehicle emission test, given that
there are about 1.5 million private motorized vehicles in Jakarta
today. (Tempo Interaktif, Feb. 2)

What does the Jakarta city administration think of the present
vehicle inspection test? Corruption has rendered this inspection
test useless. Public vehicles that actually do not pass the test
can get an inspection certificate and run about all over the
city, pumping out air pollution.

I think an emission test will also become a source of
corruption. What will eventually happen is that a car owner will
have to spend a lot of time and energy but get nothing in return.

The government has launched its "Blue Sky" campaign but then
raised sharply the price of lead-free Pertamax. As a result, this
excellent program has lost its usefulness.
