Parking fee hike effective from January

JAKARTA (JP): The city administration is to set a new official
parking fee at between Rp 1,000 and Rp 500 for cars and Rp 500
for motorcycles at spaces managed by the city parking management
body BP Parkir starting from next year, an official announced on
Monday.

Deputy Governor for Development Affairs Budihardjo Sukmadi
said that the hike would be followed by a significant improvement
in BP Parkir to avoid mismanagement and financial losses.

According to Budihardjo, the tariff for cars would be set at
Rp 1,000 per hour at BP-run parking spaces listed under the
category of type A streets (crowded areas) and Rp 500 per hour at
type B streets (less crowded areas).

Motorcycles would be charged at Rp 500 each per parking
without a time limit.

He said that prior to the realization of the new tariff and an
effort to help promote it, the city administration would soon
install signs of the street type categories on the city's 516
streets.

Currently, the tariff at BP-managed parking lots is set at
between Rp 300 and Rp 500 per hour for cars and Rp 300 for
motorcycles. (jun)
