Menteri Perhubungan, Budi Karya Sumadi, mengatakan bahwa Kementerian Perhubungan (Kemenhub) mendukung penuh penyediaan kendaraan listrik di kawasan Ibu Kota Negara (IKN) Nusantara, Kalimantan Timur.

“The Ministry of Transportation prioritizes the provision of low-emission means of transportation, in this case electric vehicles in the IKN area. "This is important to maintain air quality in the IKN area," said Budi via Antara.

Budi melakukan kunjungan kerja di IKN, Penajam Paser Utara, Kalimantan Timur untuk melihat progres pembangunan sejumlah fasilitas sarana dan prasarana transportasi di daerah tersebut. Dia menjelaskan untuk mencapai nol emisi di kawasan IKN, Kemenhub telah menyiapkan beberapa strategi yang efektif, seperti layanan angkutan antarmoda di wilayah penyangga IKN.

The intermodal transport service network from IKN buffer cities to the IKN Central Government Core Area (KIPP) which is and will be operating, includes Balikpapan - IKN (Rest Area) intermodal transport and Samarinda - IKN (Park n Ride 2) intermodal transport.

Budi said that the Balikpapan - IKN intermodal transportation service via Simpang Samboja has been operating since November 1 2022. After the operation of the IKN toll road, said Budi, the Balikpapan - IKN intermodal transportation service will change to via toll road, as will the Samarinda - IKN intermodal transportation service.

"After the operation of the toll road, the final point of service for non-electric buses will be Park and Ride 2 as a transit point, then passengers will switch modes to IKN urban transportation which uses Electric Vehicles," explained the Minister of Transportation.

Terkait layanan bus listrik, Budi telah melaksanakan kajian perencanaan teknis angkutan umum di KIPP tahap 1 dengan mengusulkan 3 rute trayek. Ketiga trayek tersebut yakni rute Park & Ride sampai Masjid Raya dengan total kebutuhan 13 bus medium; rute Park & ride sampai Botanical Garden total kebutuhan armada 7 bus medium; dan rute Park & ride 1 sampai Park & ride 2 dengan total kebutuhan 21 armada.

Sementara itu, Otoritas Ibu Kota Nusantara (OIKN) juga berencana bekerja sama dengan Bluebird untuk melayani rute di dalam IKN atau KIPP tahap 1, dalam hal ini terkait pengadaan bus listrik dan rencana operasionalnya.

Then, for 2025 a Buy the Service (BTS) budget has been proposed to serve the IKN route. Regarding the route plan, it will be adjusted to the land parcels that have been built, while the number of fleet requirements is still waiting for study and review from the OIKN team. The ministry will provide support related to transportation in commemoration of the 79th Indonesian Independence Day at IKN on August 17 2024. "The support provided is the provision of a fleet for the mobilization of ceremony participants on the airport - hotel route and the KIPP IKN Hotel (Park & ??Ride 2)," Budi said.
