He added that the agency had sent two warning letters for each car, but the agency had yet to receive any response.
According to City Bylaw no. 5/2014 on transportation, owners of towed cars are to be fined Rp 500,000 for each day their cars sit in the administration’s compound.
Christianto said that the agency would register every towed vehicle to Bank DKI, “so owners could pay the fine directly to the bank.” (kuk)
