Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung launches 2,800 short‑term jobs and targets 30% public‑transport use

Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung announced that the city will open 2,843 short‑term employment positions in the padat karya sector as a measure to ease economic pressure. Applications are expected to start next week, with further details on job types to be provided by the DKI development office.

He also reported that Jakarta’s overall connectivity now exceeds 93%, but regular use of public transport remains below 30%. Anung set a goal to raise public‑transport utilization to over 30% by next year, believing this will significantly reduce traffic congestion. New routes linking Cikarang and Soekarno‑Hatta Airport to central Jakarta are being prepared to support the target.
