00:26the plan to limit subsidized BBMs, as well as the increase in the KRL-Jabodetapek tariff,
00:34is said to make people's purchasing power worse.
00:37Transportation inflation in the last few months has been one of the highest among other export groups.
00:46Esther said, transportation inflation reached 0.22% in August 2024 monthly.
00:55The figure is higher than the general inflation figure of minus 0.03%.
01:00Meanwhile, the transportation inflation rate was 0.03% in August 2024.
01:09Transportation costs are a component of other commodity prices.
01:19So I'm worried that if this transportation inflation is not reduced,
01:27then people's purchasing power will be worse.
01:32As is known, the discussion on the limitation of subsidized BBMs in the type of Pertalite and Solar
01:37will begin to be applied next month.
01:40Later, all types of motorcycles above 250cc and black-plate cars
01:45that have specifications above 1,400cc will no longer be able to buy Pertalite.
01:52Meanwhile, the KRL-Jabodetapek tariff is planned to rise as high as 1,000 rupiah.
01:57However, the Ministry of Transportation has not yet announced when the increase in the KRL tariff will be applied.
02:03Because it will still wait for the election of President-Elect Prabowo Subianto's cabinet.
