Presidential candidate Anies Baswedan stated that Jakarta's pollution does not solely originate from motor vehicles. He made this statement during the 2024 Presidential Candidate Debate held at the KPU office in Central Jakarta on Tuesday, December 12, 2023. The debate's theme was Governance, Law, Human Rights, Corruption Eradication, Strengthening Democracy, Improvement of Public Services, and Community Harmony.
“The number of motorcycles remains the same day after day, the number of cars remains the same day after day, so the pollution levels should be consistent. But with the same number of motorcycles and cars, there are times when pollution is very high, and times when it's very low,” said Anies.
According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the number of motor vehicles in DKI Jakarta has steadily increased each year. In 2018, there were a total of 22.5 million vehicles. By 2022, this number had risen to 26.4 million vehicles. Motorcycles constituted the majority, with 17.3 million units in 2022.
