Parking fee hike

Parking fee hike

From Media Indonesia

The proposed increase of parking fees in Jakarta up to Rp
5,000 indicates there is something wrong with Jakarta's parking
system.

The main problem is the low annual revenue of Rp 6 billion,
well below the targeted Rp 11 billion.

The cause for the shortage in revenues may be ascribed to the
non-issuance of tickets by parking attendants in exchange for the
payment of parking fees.

I suggest that a system of coupons be introduced for parking.
In other words parking should be paid in coupons and not in cash.
This system would minimize corruption. Each person submitting a
coupon would contribute to the revenue of the Jakarta
Administration.

A strategic place to sell coupons is a gas station. If the
coupon system is to succeed, it must be accompanied by adequate
salaries for parking attendants.
