Crowded Buses Subject to Illegal Parking Rates, This Said Bandung City Transportation Agency
Not long ago, there was a lot on social media, buses that were hit with parking fees on the outskirts of Jalan Kebon Kawung, Bandung City near the Kartika Sari souvenir shop of IDR 150,000 for one bus.
Responding to this, the Department of Transportation (Dishub) provided clarification regarding the illegal parking fee.
Public Relations Unit for Parking Management of the Bandung City Transportation Agency, Rizky Maulana Yusuf said, from the results of field clarification, it was found that the person who did the 'kicking' the price of the parking lot was an illegal parking attendant (jukir) not an official parking attendant for the Transportation Agency.
"Regarding the parking of the bus at Jakan Kebon Kawung, it has been clarified that the jukir is a thug's assistant. When the official working hours are finished, the thug's assistant comes in," he said, Monday 13 February 2023.
For information, the official parking rate for the city center zone parking service, continued Rizki, for buses is IDR 7,000 per hour.
To prevent similar incidents from happening again, the Transportation Agency continues to carry out joint operations with the Police and the TNI to crack down on illegal parking attendants in the city of Bandung.
"We are joining the control and operations sector, the TNI and Polri are taking action," he said.
"However, when the prosecution likes cat and mouse with the officers, when we leave they come again," he added.
He appealed to the public to park in official places and with parking attendants in official uniforms and officially.
The following are the characteristics of an official parking ticket from the UPT Parking Transportation Agency for the City of Bandung; that is, there is a serial number, a stamp from the Bandung city government and a parking fee for the first hour and so on.
Additionally, there is official parking ticket coloring for the city center in green, buffer zones in pink, and suburbs in yellow.
"Other than that, people don't accept it," he said.
