Jakarta (B2B) - Gubernur DKI Jakarta, Basuki T Purnama mewajibkan setiap taksi di ibu kota dilengkapi dengan alat global positioning system (GPS), untuk mengantisipasi aksi kejahatan sehingga keberadaan taksi bisa terdeteksi.
Basuki mengatakan bahwa dinas perhubungan (Dishub) DKI Jakarta sudah melakukan serangkaian perbaikan dari segi regulasi terkait jasa transportasi taksi di ibu kota.
"Setiap operator taksi di Jakarta diwajibkan memasang alat GPS untuk mengontrol armadanya," ujar Basuki, Kamis (4/12).
Meski demikian, kata Basuki, warga Jakarta tetap diminta waspada ketika hendak bepergian dengan taksi. Dia menyarankan warga memesan jasa layanan taksi menggunakan telepon atau aplikasi di smartphone.
"Makanya kita juga bilang masyarakat harus pakai smartphone. Anda harus bisa SMS, tanya. Jangan taksi datang langsung, naik saja itu bisa saja taksi tipuan. Dari ribuan taksi ada satu dua taksi tipuan, bisa saja terjadi," ungkapnya.
"Asal jangan kamu main cegat di jalan, itu bisa bahaya karena kita belum bisa cek pelat nomor asli atau palsu," katanya lagi.
Mantan Bupati Belitung Timur itu juga meminta warga memeriksa kembali identitas sopir taksi dan juga nomor taksi yang ditumpangi. "Perusahaan taksi bisa dicabut izinnya apabila terbukti ada oknum sopir taksi yang melakukan perampokan," tegasnya.

"People should use a smartphone. You should be able to SMS and ask. Don't let the taxi to come to your house and then ride, this could be trickery. Of the thousands of taxis, scams can be done by one to two taxi. And do not try to intercept taxi on the street, it can be dangerous because we cannot check the license plate number, whether it is original or fake," he asserted.
