Political Policy of Public Transportation Development in Jakarta-Indonesia

Ever since BRT operated on 15th of January 2004 up until nowadays, corridor I has been a corridor that has succeeded in serving the community. But do not turn a blind eye, improvements have been made by BLU in all corridors. BLU has referred to the SPM (Minimum Service Standards) to provide services to the community which has been in effect since April 2010. What is important to understand from the service improvement is that BRT is a form of government rationalization to achieve the ultimate goal of service commodification. SPM is a concept of service order that is oriented to the interests of consumers and is therefore legitimate. For this reason, BLU has the responsibility to manage services by referring to the service order/SPM.[1]

The happening contestation between the BRT development arena could be identified by ten kinds of issues: (1) infrastructure development (bus stop, sky walk), (2) lane construction , (3) eviction of regular transport routes; (4) procurement/formation of operators, (5) difference in the price of kilometers traveled, (6) unsteril lane, (7) delayed bus arrival time, (8) the availability of CNG and prices; (9) ticket prices and (10) subsidy politics.

Taking into account the ideal framework of BRT as a rapid mass public transport system, its implementation is not as easy as imagined. The construction of the BRT system will continue as long as this program is implemented. As an ideal concept, BRT is included as a form of social creativity. This is because the public transportation system development contains standard values of rationality and universality. This system applies in all corners of the world, and its values are speed, fairness, time efficiency, cost, equitable access and punctuality and are integrative with other transports. The implementation of BRT as a political policy is aimed at reducing congestion and delegitimizing the use of private transport. The reason is because the government continues to ignore the use of private vehicles to fight for road space with a culture of public transportation typical of urban people who do not yet have a city culture, such as overtaking, snatching, honking, etc.

BRT was chosen and implemented because it is seen as the cheapest and fastest system as a solution to solve public transport problems. BRT is a new transportation technology system, having been implemented in the Brazilian city of Curitiba for more than 20 years. This concept is better known as busway as a quick mass transportation system and proven to change the city appearance in a better condition and escalate the economic activities. The reliable performance of the BRT system coupled with the cost-effectiveness of investment, make this system an option for developing countries around the world to improve their public transport systems.

 The most dangerous effect of carok is vengeance. There is a struggle between symbolic power and symbolic power. In Maduranese culture, symbolic power lies in both men and women. In carok there are a series of values in the form of a show of real power and symbolic power: protecting and maintaining the honor and dignity that is inherent by individuals.  Therefore, if someone interferes with their existence (interfering with their symbolic power) then the individual will act in a carok way. This matter formed the structure of an aggressive mindset among the Madurese community then. They consider that the ability of carok is an act that is appreciated in the Madurese society. Thus, carok is legitimized and accepted as a socially cultural 'right' act.
