our comments on the plan of the Jakarta city administration plan to increase parking fees with the highest new fees jumping to Rp 10,000 (US$1.2) per hour from Rp 2,000.



 We understand that Jakarta has a limited area for parking. But the planned hikes will be a great burden for motorists.

I disagree with the city administration for making the changes. What does the government want to do with the fee?

I absolutely agree with parking fee hikes. Of course it should be well managed. It is and will be okay.

It is one way to avoid traffic jams in Jakarta. But it is not enough. The city government has to follow up such a policy with the improvement of city bus services.

The Jakarta administration’s plan to increase hourly parking fees from Rp 2,000 to some Rp 10,000 is all right as long as the people ‘s income and earnings get a comparable increase, which is six times more, in US dollars.

City parking fee hikes plan should take place together with the restriction of heavy/slow industrial vehicles and interprovincial buses passing the city’s   “narrow” toll road, our main artery.

Why not, it’s a great move.
Taco F. de Vries
Banda Aceh

It’s terribly expensive. I do not agree and if I am parking for six hours, I have to pay Rp 60,000 everyday?
