JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - DPP Organda menyebut, saat ini truk barang yang beroperasi di Indonesia keseluruhan berjumlah sekitar 7 juta truk. Dari jumlah itu, yang membutuhkan direvitalisasi mencapai 60 persen.

Ketua Umum DPP Organda, Eka Sari Lorena mengatakan, kondisi ini disebabkan lantaran kapasitas produksi truk di Indonesia masih jauh dari kebutuhan. Produksi truk rata-rata per tahun hanya sekitar 60.000 unit.

Eka mengakui, rencana revitalisasi truk masih kurang mendapat dukungan semua pihak. Padahal, angkutan barang sebagian sudah siap berbenah bahkan mengintegrasikan diri dengan konsep green port.

Seperti salah satunya yang dilakukan angkutan pelabuhan di bawah Organda dengan PT Pelindo III (Persero), di mana telah disepakati hanya truk dengan spesifikasi "hijau" saja yang bisa masuk ke pelabuhan. 

"Di Tanjung Perak Surabaya konsep green port akan terealisasi dalam dua tahun ini. Jadi truknya pun beda. Teknologi dari awal yang green. Pelindo III cukup agresif. Mereka sudah bikin konsorsium dengan Organda beli truk. Bareng-bareng mengecek ke pabriknya, agar tidak tertipu, pas datang ternyata berkarat," kata dia lagi.

Masing-masing pihak dalam konsorsium tersebut, kata Eka, memberikan kontribusi sebesar Rp 400 juta. Dia optimistis, konsep green port ini juga bakal diadopsi oleh Pelindo II. Namun, yang menjadi pekerjaan rumah saat ini adalah 60 persen truk yang butuh revitalisasi tadi.

Eka berharap ada komitmen dari semua pemangku kepentingan terkait, agar truk-truk berusia tua bisa tetap berjalan dengan perejamaan.

Ridwan Kamil Curhat Soal Kemacetan Akhir Pekan Pada Jokowi

Mulya Nurbilkis - detikNews

Bandung - Gubernur DKI Joko Widodo menemui Wali Kota Bandung Ridwan Kamil di Balai Kota Bandung. Kesempatan itu dimanfaatkan Kang Emil untuk curhat tentang kepadatan kota Bandung karena orang-orang Jakarta yang datang setiap akhir pekan.

"Ini kalau sudah akhir pekan, saya pasti sudah pusing lagi," kata Ridwan Kamil sambil duduk santai di tangga depan kantornya, Kamis (16/4/2014).

Pria yang kerap disapa Kang Emil ini mengeluhkan warga Jakarta yang datang berlibur ke Bandung, namun menggunakan kendaraan pribadi. Hal ini menurutnya membuat Bandung semakin macet dan semrawut.

"Kami minta agar sebisa mungkin warga Jakarta kalau mau ke Bandung naik kereta saja," sambungnya.

Mendengar keluhan ini, Jokowi hanya tersenyum. Ia pun mengangguk pada Emil yang duduk tepat di sampingnya.

"Kalau mau datang ke Bandung, naik kereta saja. Nanti dari stasiun kereta kami jemput naik bus Bandros (Bandung Tour on the Bus)," sambung politisi Gerindra itu.

Sudah menjadi kebiasaan, setiap akhir minggu kota Bandung menjadi lebih padat daripada hari biasa. Salah satu penyebabnya karena jumlah turis domistik dari Jakarta yang berlibur ke Bandung.

cerdas.

Salat Bus Malam Terobos Bursa

Saat Bus Malam Terobos Bursa

BUDI ALIMUDDIN - detikNews

Jakarta - Elman Amin, pria kecil paruh baya berkopiah putih, duduk dengan gelisah. Berkali-kali ia melihat arloji di tangan kirinya. "Harusnya kami sudah di atas kapal penyeberangan sore ini," ucapnya. Ia sudah belasan jam menempuh perjalanan dari Malang, Jawa Timur, dan hendak ke kampung halamannya di Rajabasa, Lampung.

Mestinya bus yang ia naiki, PO Lorena, sudah membawanya menyeberang feri. Tapi salah satu roda bus itu bermasalah, sehingga mesti berhenti beberapa jam di depo bus di kawasan Cilandak, Jakarta Selatan, untuk perbaikan. Kegelisahan pemilik kebun karet itu berakhir setelah bus itu segera meninggalkan puluhan bus di depo tersebut dan bergerak menuju Pekanbaru.

Bus antarprovinsi yang ia naiki adalah andalan bisnis PT Eka Sari Lorena Transport. Perusahaan ini tinggal selangkah menjadi operator bus malam atau bus jarak jauh pertama yang melepas saham di bursa. Langkah ini dilakukan meski bus jarak jauh di Indonesia sangat terpukul oleh hadirnya maskapai penerbangan murah. Maskapai ini membuat tarif pesawat tidak terlalu beda jauh dengan bus tapi memiliki waktu tempuh sangat pendek. 

Meski begitu, Lorena optimistis. "(Kami) optimistis pasar saham akan merespons saham kami," kata Andy Porman Tambunan, Sekretaris Perusahaan Lorena. Ia yakin mereka tetap bisa mendapatkan hasil bagus dari penjualan saham mereka meski mereka perusahaan transportasi darat. "Kami tidak mau disamakan dengan mereka," katanya, dalam majalah detik edisi 123, merujuk pada perusahaan bus lain yang sudah melantai di bursa.

1. You see different people everyday - Maybe I am just weird, but I find watching and listening to people on the bus to be rather interesting. Sometimes I even talked to the bus driver and other random people. I guess the travel experience is just not as lonely as driving because there are other people with you. Once in a while I would see a neighbor or friend, and it was always fun to chat in person.

2. Public transit helps the environment - This is true for areas with high population density. If everyone in the Bay Area that rides the train or bus everyday drove instead then this place will probably have unbreathable air and the traffic would be even more horrendous than it already is now. When you ride the bus or train you are sharing resources with your community, and that cuts down on pollution.

3. You can use your travel time for leisure - On a bus or train you can read a book, play a game, or even chat with your friends on the computer if internet is available. When you drive you have to concentrate on driving. I read many books when I was a bus rider, and also got really familiar with the main routes of the cities around the Bay just by watching the bus routes. It is also pretty relaxing to just take a little nap.

4. Public transit makes you exercise more - I firmly believe that I gained quite a bit of weight over the last couple years because I drive everyday. In the days when I rode the bus I walked more than a mile each day to and from the bus stop or train station. Unless the bus stop is right in front of your house, you generally have to walk a little bit, and that bit of exercise could mean 10 to 15 pounds over the years.

5. Car ownership is generally more expensive - The amount of money needed to purchase a car can generally finance public transit fees for years. Many workplaces also give incentives for public transportation such as discounted passes or reimbursements. Many large companies here in the South Bay also have free bus and train passes under their EcoPass program. The savings are quite significant over months and years.

Of course, there are many inconveniences associated with public transportation. For example, a lot of busses are often late, and go on roundabout routes. There are also crazy bus drivers that do not stop when requested, and also scary passengers that you want to get away from. Sometimes a bus could be so crowded that you can barely breathe. However, most of the times my experiences have been pleasant. I still use public transit from time to time to go to San Francisco because parking is nearly impossible in that city. I also take the BART train to the airport because it costs about 1/10 the amount of hiring a taxi. So even if you cannot part with your car, taking public transit can save you money if you take it occasionally. What about you? Are you a fan or hater of public transit? I was such a bus aficionado I did not learn to drive until I was 20. I knew several bus routes by heart and traveled all around the San Francisco Bay via busses or the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). Right now I live in San Mateo where the public transit is not as prevalent, and I really miss the days when I got everywhere with a bus pass. Since I am feeling nostalgic today I am going to write down why I love public transportation, and I hope I can live in a place with a lot of public transit again.
