The government's lack of vision and long-term commitment to build
rail mode as a mass transportation that could help the life
community economy.
Thus the conclusion of the Secretary General of the opinion Indonesian Transportation Society (MTI)
Danang Parikesit and Observer Taufik Hidayat to Perekeretaapian Koran Jakarta,
when contacted separately, Saturday (8 / 11).
"The train in Indonesia that did not develop because element
long-term commitment of less government in allocating budgets
development. Railway development goals is never clearly stated in the
Draft Long Term Development (RPJP) or Term Development Plan
Medium (RPJM), this makes the investment plan can not be arranged with
good, "said Danang.
Taufik added, during the period of decades ago, is already
sucked trillions of dollars of funds to build the railway modes. However, the
the government only noticed the problem of physical development, but did not think
organizational development, human resources (HR) or regulation.
Recorded, at 80 years of rail transport to get help from the Bank
The world of 525 million U.S. dollars. And in 95-96 years' The Iron Snake "enjoy
revitalization funds from the government as much as 19 trillion rupiah. Revitalization program
resumed in 2005 with funds of menydot one trillion rupiah and
this year by four trillion rupiah.
"Funds allocated big government is like entry into the well
without foundation. This is because the government did not make corrections in a fundamental
ie healthy PT Kereta Api (KA), "he said.
Fundamentally changes intended by Taufik is the correct regulatory and
management of PT KA. Regulations set technical and economic concerns. Regulation
manage the technical feasibility and economical maintenance while the rules are about
competition, tariffs and Public Service Obligation (PSO).
"The law is the new railways had been good where participation
private and local government open. But during the transition period until 2010 will
no significant steps made pemerinta, "he said.
Railways Act mandate, he continued, is expressly asked the government to fix
management of PT KA a healthy balance sheet, audit, monitor
PSO implementation, and review pension funds. "Until now it was not done
optimally. So, do not be surprised if accidents increased and long-KA
more short tracks, "he said.
Based on the record, Indonesia has a long rail along the 4500 KM
with 350 locomotives. Number of traffic accidents reached 120 events. In India, the number of
same accident in Indonesia, but the length of the track to reach 65 thousand km and
lokomitif 7900 units.
Formerly PT KA Sehatkan
Danang explains, the key to progress is the railway transport reform
internally and progressive PT KA to be a company that
healthy.
"Cooperation with the private sector can not be done properly if not supported
strong desire from the PT. KA to nourish themselves, "he said.
Taufik added, if healthy PT KA will provide multiple impacts to the industry
supporters of the train. For example, the steel plant will not produce steel for
bearings and rail, as well as technology companies will develop
signaling, and others.
"Right now how to support companies that develop
railway infrastructure, railway construction, if only a few kilometers. Honey
productivity once production is spent on something small. Therefore
The key is healthy PT KA, "he said.
Next Danang suggested, after PT KA healthy financially and technically,
the government should eliminate subsidies Fuel (BBM) in a gradual
or progressive
eliminated to improve the competitiveness of rail modes.
Elimination of these subsidies will make every mode of transportation has
ability to compete. Not like today where private cars and bikes
enjoy motor fuel subsidies.
"Now that we can not deny the growth of motorcycles and cars outside
normal. This is because the public wanted a cheap mode of transportation and
comfortable. While mass transportation was not able to do because all this
no significant growth, "he explained.
Separately, the Director of PT Kereta Api Ronny Wahyudi confirmed, since three years
and the government fully supports the development of rail modes. "Support back log
and the gradual revitalization undertaken by PT KA and the government, '
he said.
He is optimistic, the government will continue to develop the railway mode because the
congestion on the highway getting worse. "The community is now increasingly realized that
masssal transportation needs. And the answer is to train, "he explained. [Dni]
