Concept of Innovation Trans Purwasuka System For Intregated Future Public Transportation in West Java

Kompasiana.com - In order to achieve the integration of West Java transportation in an effort and increase the use of public transportation modes, the West Java government needs to present various innovations. One of the innovations that need to be implemented by Trans Purwasuka system.

"Our hope is to bring West Java as the most innovative, collaborative, and integrated in public transportation."

The mode of public transportation is the terminology used to describe the mode of transportation used by the general public to go from one place to another as a destination, while Purwasuka is a geographical cultural area located in West Java Province which is divided into three district marked T plate is the license plate code of the motor vehicle police.

Trans Purwasuka stands for Purwakarta, Subang, and Karawang transportation is a public transportation system with an integrated bus, river, flying taxi and road system covering three districts (samples) that are easily accessible and wheelchair-friendly (disability) to get from one place of origin to another place as a goal.

"The Trans Purwasuka system is designed based on the Transport for London (TfL) system, which has a legal entity created by the Greater London Authority consisting of the Mayor of London and the London Assembly."

The Greater London Authority, just like the regional government of West Java province, consists of the Governor of West Java as Mayor of London and the DPRD of West Java as the London Assembly for the legal entity Trans Purwasuka which operates in Purwakarta, Subang, and Karawang.

The Governor of West Java and DPRD of West Java or Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah Jawa Barat (DPRD JAWA BARAT) is Regional People's Representative Assembly directly elected by the people of West Java democratically in general elections.

That is, to design Trans Purwasuka as a legal entity, the West Java Regional Government through Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government determines the form of Regional Owned Enterprises or Badan Usaha Milik Daerah (BUMD) consisting of regional public companies and regional limited liability companies.

Each country has different types of legal entities. The US equivalent of  Perseroan Terbatas (PT) is a limited liability company (LLC). Most PTs operate like limited liability companies (LLCs) and offer shares to the public. Shareholders of a PT are legally responsible for the debts of the company in the event of bankruptcy. However, investors are only responsible for their initial investment amount. Articles on the  association of a PT describe the share structure.

Trans Purwasuka from the point of view of a regional public company is a BUMD which is wholly owned by a West Java Regional Government and is not divided into shares. In the event that Trans Purwasuka is located in several regencies/cities, the regional public company must change its legal form into a regional company which is divided into shares of the Purwakarta Government, Subang Government, and Karawang Regional Government in PT. Trans Purwasuka.
