Rudy Thehamihardja observers express transportation, mass transportation in Indonesia is better encouraged destroyed first. After that, only then the stakeholders sit down together to discuss the best strategies to grow mass transportation in Indonesia.

“I put the useless things which should be to promote mass transportation. Why? Because each request made, for many people only seem to increase the income of public transport businessman. Yet not so. We are also concerned about mass transportation in Indonesia, which should be able to parse jams here and there, “says Rudy told Kompas in Jakarta on Friday (05/07/2010).

To be asked his opinion about the real Rudy replace Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati, of course what should be done to advance the world’s new minister of transport. However, the answer is just shocking!

Transport entrepreneurs, he said, can actually just ask for reduction of import duty or Value Added Tax exemption when buying spare parts. After all, the money saved was not solely to increase profit. Therefore, money from which to cover the cost of extortion, for example.

Moreover, Rudy said, no longer any one party in Indonesia that really care about mass transportation. “Busway project off the beaten path to this moment, no city dwellers, who rallied at City Hall Building office or the Ministry of Communications tuh. Do-not when the busway City-Block M lane was closed to become the motor, also nobody cares,” he said.

Rudy confirmed, the latest phenomenon in the world of mass transportation, ie trains Parahyangan closure, nor is seriously addressed by all stakeholders. In addition to the railfans who was shouting, there was a loud-voiced member of the House of Representatives? Or, if the Minister of Transportation is also a critical voice?

And, when the sidewalks are no longer able to step on people because they have to succumb to the motor, maybe that’s when our new Indonesian people really want to rethink the importance of mass transportation, “he said.
