Busway, the alternatives to solve traffic congestion in Jakarta.

Solution to traffic congestion in Jakarta is to revitalize public transportation. For Jakarta, it seems no other option but to reform the composition of the total transport. The Government of DKI Jakarta is developing the transport system in Jakarta arrangement, known as the Macro Transportation Pattern. Transportation system more towards the integration of several transport models which include Bus Rapid Transit, Light Rapid Transit, Mass Rapid Transit, and the transport stream or waterways.







. The first is the Light Rapid Transit, or often called Monorail. Monorail is a transportation system that uses a single track, where trains run to follow the track rail. Called the Light Rapid Transit for light construction and walking on a special track, with a capacity in the serve a lot of commuter traffic. The project was blocked by the difficulties of financial and technological choices. In 2003, the project was submitted to the Malaysian company Mtrans, construction began in June 2004. But eventually the plan was canceled by the governor of DKI Jakarta, so it may be very unfortunate considering rail pedestal that has stood firm became useless.





The second is the Waterways which started to operate and be integrated in the transport of Jakarta after the inauguration of the Halimun - Karet route along the 1.7 kilometers by Governor Sutiyoso on June 6, 2007. This route is part of Manggarai-Karet route planning along the 3.6 kilometers. Various problems that overshadow Waterways system operations including the garbage that flows along river water, which potentially caught in the propeller and the shallowness of the river boat.







The third is a Mass Rapid Transit-Subway is a form of rapid transit subway that was built in urban areas. Jakarta earlier had planned a few years ago, the Governor of DKI Surjadi Soedirdja, but its realization continues to be delayed. Along with the monetary crisis of whack Indonesia, the plan was canceled. Until now, the plan remains a plan, the central government is less supportive by making the subway in Jakarta as an alternative after the double track project and the pipeline outside of Jakarta. Construction of the first subway in Indonesia to meet a few strategic issues.







The fourth, which is currently run by the government in Jakarta is Transjakarta or commonly called Busway is a bus rapid transport system or the Bus Rapid Transit in Jakarta, Indonesia. This system was adopted from a successful TransMilenio system in Bogota, Colombia. Transjakarta is able to accommodate 20 million trips can carry 200 thousand passengers per day.
The bus is used as a bus Transjakarta Mercedes-Benz buses and Hino. Transjakarta buses start operating the first time on January 15, 2004 with the Blok M - Kota route. Currently available TransJakarta Line 10 corridor which divides the city. However, the Jakarta provincial government plans to continue construction of busway corridors in the XI-XV, encountering many obstacles, whether this can be completed during congestion or not.
Constraints currently facing is the lack of comfort of our passengers, I as a user of busway have a lot of problems from lack of number of buses that are not proportional to the number of passengers, causing long queues at the time of the stifling rush hour and sometimes happens sometimes crime, but CCTV cameras have been installed at the corner bus stop and also the number of officers on guard seems to still not be able to keep the passengers are so many.
Late arrival of the bus caused the ineffectiveness of the working time. And resulted in long queues and crowding in the bus also. Besides the damages in the form of death crossing the bridge lighting, damaging the roof of the bridge that lead to inconvenience its users. Moreover, the current government of Jakarta is planning to raise rates from IDR 3500 become IDR 5000. I think that also might be thinking the same with other users better is first repaired all the damage and comfort and service on the increase.
Another problem that arises is the inclusion of other vehicles into the lane busway cause Transjakarta like any other public bus that had to deal with traffic congestion, such as the preservation efforts in each corridor to the installation of automated portals can not sterilize the busway lane. Maybe there should be a new alternative in making that Jakarta is not jammed or perhaps improvements in the implementation of this busway transport model. Jakarta community desires to create a free jam and not wasting time in useless work. All relevant parties including the citizens of Jakarta should help each other overcome this bottleneck, not just blame the government of DKI Jakarta, which I always try to tackle the main problems of Jakarta.

Letter of Complaint

To:
General services agency Trans Jakarta

I as a consumer freight trans jakarta states for the inconvenience as long as I use these services. The problem I faced was the late arrival of the bus so that disrupt my work time, then the number of passenger capacity in excess of the capacity is 83 people. It is described as state of other public transportation. Then use the bus lane for private vehicles such as cars, motorcycles or any other public bus that inhibits the rate of trans jakarta who already have their own channels and of course helping people to avoid congestion when using private vehicles or other public transportation for their activities.
Hopefully, my letter is in follow up immediately. In order for user convenience bus trans jakarta increasingly perceived increases and can become a useful public transport vehicles to the public jakarta

Yours sincerely

Because of these problems is very detrimental to me. Thanks

Use your ATM card safely



In the past everyone save money in the wallet might just be stored in a closet or home, it can have a bad impact that money can disappear suddenly without any replacement.
Practicability of the present moment is the use of ATM cards issued by almost all banks, of course, each person must open their accounts to save money. Benefit from the use of ATMs was more diverse, from which only as a place to take the money at automatic teller machines, or known as ATMs. Can now be used as a means of regular payment such as payment of telephone bills, electricity, water as a tool to debit payments. So no need to pull cash at an ATM first before transacting in the supermarket but it can directly make payment by the ATM cards as debit card use is cutting the number of bills directly from your savings transactions.
From the myriad of extra convenience we can get from an ATM card but recently a lot of break-ins occurred the name of the customer's account ATM machines, many modes of fraud committed by the criminals who carried out to customers via SMS & phone to break-ins with the instrument data recorder Skimmer .
Maybe we've received SMS from a stranger who reads "Congratulations you won a cash prize of 20 million rupiah. Contact 081xxxxxxx numbers for more information. Pengirim: xxx. Sender: xxx. Of course this SMS to recipients soared happily. And this is one of the fraudulent guise of style gift. Not only through SMS, but also conducted by telephone, and mail using official letterhead, but a fake! If you experience this you should be extra careful to deal with.
How to detect this fraud? For communication, the perpetrator has appointed someone. Complete with cell phone number. However, phone cards that are used rarely use fixed phones but use a prepaid card. If using a fixed phone number, usually when contacted will read 'tulalit' or not registered. If we managed to contact, usually the perpetrators will ask you to go to an ATM, and mention the account number and pin. You are also asked to transfer some money with the reasons for the payment of lottery tax.
There are other things that also happen that an ATM card in ATM machine swallowed, if it happens then there should not directly call the listed bank services at the ATM machine. The reason these numbers could be a deliberate fake numbers set to break the perpetrators of our ATMs. The perpetrators deliberately jammed the ATM machine using matchsticks and put stickers of service. When victims call the number, the perpetrators will ask the victim a PIN number and said that the ATM card will soon be in the process. If victims are trapped and give your PIN number and out of the ATM, then drained the savings direct perpetrator the victim.
The next mode which recently occurred in the area of Bali, using Skimmer data recorders, digital data perpetrators stole an ATM card is installed in the client machine. Then to steal the customers pin numbers, principals with the help of surveillance cameras installed in the ATM space or by direct peering when customers type in pin numbers. Next copy data to a fake card, then drain the savings account.
But the current security conducted by the bank has grown, with the cover installed on the number pad, thereby reducing the possibility of shadowing by the customer PIN offenders. Every customer also has their own responsibility always to maintain the security and convenience when doing transactions at ATM machines.

Siklus Waktu Kalender Tionghoa

Kalender lunar/Imlek dibuat berdasarkan siklus dari bulan, formatnya berbeda dari kalender Gregorian yang berpatokan silus matahari, sedangkan konsep waktu barat diwakili dengan bintang-bintang.
Dalam kalender tionghoa, awal tahun dimulai antara akhir januari dan awal februari, itulah mengapa perayaan tahun baru imlek selalu berbeda stiap tahu. Metode yang populer dimana kita dapat melihat metode siklus ini adalah perekaman tahun ke dalam dua belas tanda hewan, atau shi er sheng xiao atau cap ji shio. Setiap tahun ditandai dengan kombinasi nama binatang atau shio yang dikenal dengan istilah 12 di zhi (12 cabang bumi) dan 10 thian gan (10 batang langit).
Kedua belas cabang bumi ialah Tikus,Kerbau, Macan, Kelinci, Naga, Ular, Kuda, Kambing, Monyet, Ayam, Anjing, dan Babi. Kesepuluh batang langit ialah Yang Kayu, Yin Kayu, Yang api, Yin api, Yang Tanah, Yin tanah, Yang logam, Yin logm, Yang air dan yin air. Oleh karena itu, setiap dua belas tahun binatang atau shio yang sama akan muncul.
Tahun 2010 ini, tahun baru imlek jatuh pada 14 Februari lalu yang bertepatan dengan Valentine Day. Kali ini adalah tahun macan berunsur logam, (populer disebut sebagai tahun macan emas).

stimulus moneter lebih potensial dorong ekonomi

JAKARTA, SELASA - Stimulus moneter dalam bentuk penurunan suku bunga acuan oleh BI lebih berpotensi mendorong perekonomian ketimbang stimulus fiskal. Efektivitas stimulus moneter kian meningkat jika perbankan lebih cepat menurunkan suku bunga kredit.

Kepala Ekonom Danareksa Research Institute Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, Senin (16/2) di Jakarta, menjelaskan, stimulus moneter dalam bentuk penurunan suku bunga acuan Bank Indonesia, atau BI Rate, yang diikuti penurunan suku bunga kredit dapat memberikan dampak lebih signifikan dalam mendorong perekonomian. Alasannya, penurunan suku bunga dapat dinikmati semua pihak, dunia usaha, maupun masyarakat. Dijelaskan, penurunan suku bunga kredit biasanya langsung direspons dengan meningkatnya permintaan kredit.

Hal itu berbeda dengan stimulus fiskal, yang biasanya kurang berdampak signifikan. Ini terjadi karena belanja pemerintah umumnya terlambat. �Jika pemerintah merencanakan belanja lebih pun, dampaknya tetap kecil atau lambat,� kata Purbaya.

Steve Hanke, pakar ekonomi internasional dan kebijakan moneter dari Universitas John Hopkins, berpendapat sama. Ditegaskan, stimulus moneter lebih ampuh untuk membangkitkan perekonomian dalam masa krisis seperti saat ini.

BI masih memiliki amunisi stimulus moneter cukup besar, mengingat suku bunga acuan BI masih berada di level cukup besar, yakni 8,25 persen.

Sejauh ini, penurunan suku bunga acuan BI relatif belum efektif meningkatkan gairah dunia usaha dan belanja masyarakat.

Hal itu karena penurunan suku bunga acuan BI yang dilakukan sejak Desember 2008 belum seluruhnya direspons perbankan dalam bentuk penurunan suku bunga kredit.

Menambah permintaan

Hingga kini, BI telah menurunkan suku bunga acuan sebesar 125 basis poin. Sementara, bunga kredit masih stagnan. Kalaupun ada penurunan, hanya dilakukan untuk persetujuan kredit baru.

Transmisi dari suku bunga acuan BI ke suku bunga kredit biasanya memakan waktu sekitar enam bulan. Dalam situasi krisis seperti saat ini, transmisi bisa memerlukan waktu lebih lama.

Hal itu karena bank masih sulit menurunkan bunga dana, terutama deposito. Suku bunga deposito bernilai besar umumnya masih berkisar 11-12 persen per tahun.

Perbankan belum berani menurunkan bunga deposito bernilai besar karena khawatir nasabah menarik dananya. Kekhawatiran kian meningkat karena bank masih sulit mendapatkan pinjaman dari pasar uang antarbank (PUAB).

Sulitnya menurunkan suku bunga deposito, membuat perbankan menahan bunga kredit tetap tinggi. Hal ini dilakukan agar margin keuntungan tidak tergerus.

Pengamat moneter, Iman Sugema, memiliki pandangan berbeda dalam menilai stimulus.

Menurut Iman, stimulus baru bisa dikatakan efektif jika mampu menambah permintaan agregat. Namun, kenyataannya, stimulus baik fiskal maupun moneter yang dilakukan banyak negara kurang efektif.

Stimulus fiskal berupa pemotongan pajak ternyata tidak mendorong konsumsi masyarakat. Stimulus moneter berupa penurunan suku bunga pun ternyata tidak efektif untuk mendorong bank menyalurkan kredit lebih banyak.

Oleh karena itu, Iman mengusulkan, agar lebih efektif, stimulus fiskal seharusnya lebih banyak berbentuk belanja pemerintah, untuk membeli produk dalam negeri. Langkah ini akan memacu kegiatan sektor riil dalam negeri.

Adapun untuk stimulus moneter, kata Iman, BI sebaiknya kembali ke cara lama, yakni menyalurkan kredit langsung ke sektor riil. �Sayangnya, undang-undang melarang BI melakukan hal itu,� kata Iman.

Indonesia menjadi bidikan global perbankan syariah

MANAMA–-Negara-negara Islam di Asia Tengah dan Indonesia dinilai sebagai wilayah pertumbuhan industri perbankan syariah global selanjutnya. Kedua wilayah tersebut dilihat sebagai pasar potensial setelah pasar Barat dan wilayah Teluk Arab kehilangan kepercayaan pasar.

“Selama beberapa tahun wilayah itu dilihat sebagai area yang potensial,” kata Pimpinan Strategis M&A Unicorn Investment Bank, Frederick Stonehouse. Bank-bank asal Teluk melihat wilayah Asia Tenggara sebagai wilayah terpenting untuk ekspansi. Al Baraka Banking Group pun sedang dalam pembicaraan untuk membeli sebuah bank di Indonesia dan Unicorn Investment Bank telah menyatakan minatnya membeli saham Dubai Group di Bank Islam Malaysia.

Stonehouse menuturkan Indonesia dinilai atraktif karena memiliki populasi Muslim yang besar. “Kami ingin masuk pasar baru seperti Indonesia. Melihat skala potensinya Indonesia adalah tempat dimana Anda pasti ingin masuki,” ujar Stonehouse.

Kendati demikian, sejumlah bankir mengatakan Indonesia masih memiliki sejumlah kendala untuk menarik investor asing dan memastikan stabilitas di peraturannya. “Jika pemerintah Indonesia memiliki keinginan kuat sangat kuat untuk menarik investasi asing, maka hal itu akan sangat luar biasa,” kata Pimpinan Perbankan Syariah Credit Agricole Corporate Investment Banking, Simon Eedle. Ia pun melihat wilayah Afrika Utara, terutama Mesir dan Maroko sebagai pasar potensial selanjutnya.

Sementara itu, wilayah lainnya yang dilihat sebagai alternatif pasar perbankan syariah adalah negara-negara eks Soviet yang memiliki populasi muslim. Beberapa bank di Teluk pun mulai melihat wilayah tersebut sebagai opsi setelah melihat regulator memiliki tekad untuk mengembangkan industri perbankan syariah. Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) menyatakan bahwa Rusia mempertimbangkan mengadopsi standar keuangan syariah.

Di berbagai negara termasuk negara minoritas Muslim seperti Prancis dan Inggris dan Jerman kini juga telah mengembangkan industri perbankan syariah. Namun menurut sejumlah bankir, tanpa adanya peraturan yang jelas untuk mendukung pasar maka akan membutuhkan waktu lama untuk penetrasi. Sejumlah bank syariah di Inggris dilihat sebagai turunan dari bank di wilayah Teluk karena memfokuskan bisnisnya pada real estate.

TabunganKu

saya mengutip dari situs liputan6.com mengenai kegiatan peresmian TabunganKu yag pada tanggal 20 februari lalu di Pekan raya jakarta..
Bank Indonesia akhirnya menjawab keinginan masyarakat yang ingin menabung namun tak ingin tabungannya berkurang akibat dibebani biaya administrasi oleh bank. Tabungan bernama "Tabunganku" juga hanya mensyaratkan setoran awal yang relatif kecil.

Tabunganku sengaja ditargetkan untuk kalangan menengah ke bawah karena hanya perlu saldo awal senilai Rp 20 ribu. Karena tak ada biaya administrasi, bunganya pun kecil hanya 0,75 persen. Namun BI berharap dengan memiliki tabungan, kalangan pengusaha kecil bisa turut mengakses kredit perbankan.

Tabunganku ini nantinya akan ada di 70 bank umum dan bank pembangunan daerah serta 910 bank perkreditan rakyat yang ada di seluruh Indonesia. Dengan kondisi ini, Bank Indonesia berharap dapat menjangkau 40 juta penduduk miskin yang belum memiliki tabungan.

mungkin sangat bermanfaat juga bagi para pekerja yang memiliki penghasilan kurang dari 1 juta sedangkan uang tersebut hanya transit saja di tabungan karena pastinya untuk keperluan bulanan serta juga mendapat biaya administrasi bulanan yang dipotong dari saldo tabungan, yang besarnya berbeda-beda untuk masing-masing bank..
