Minister outlines the command post's purpose

Transportation Minister Dudy Purwagandhi said the command post will monitor transport conditions in an integrated way to detect potential disruptions from the early stage and handle them quickly.

“This command post will be a means of integrated coordination and monitoring of transport conditions with stakeholders, so potential disruptions can be anticipated and handled quickly.”

Operators asked to share information

Purwagandhi asked all transport operators to support the command post by delivering operational information quickly, accurately, and continuously throughout the year-end holiday transport period.

Success depends on stakeholder coordination

The minister stressed that success of Christmas and New Year operations depends on synergy of all stakeholders in carrying out their duties and resolving obstacles quickly and measurably.

Ministry measures success by public safety

Purwagandhi said the government measures Christmas and New Year success by public safety and service quality people feel from leaving until returning home, noting behind every ticket is someone whose family is waiting.

“Behind every ticket is someone whose family is waiting. That is the responsibility we bear together.”
