Starting today until 20th July, trips using KRL, TransJakarta, MRT, online motorcycles taxis, and online taxis must show a STRP, also known as a Worker Registration Certificate.
“Everyone using different modes of transportation must comply with the provisions. This includes those who work in and out of Jakarta. Everyone must comply with PPKM provisions and other derivative rules, including the STRP,” said DKI Jakarta Deputy Governor Ahmad Riza Patria Riza.
For instance, drivers of online taxis and online motorcycle taxis will be asked to show STRP and a vaccine card when crossing Emergency PPKM checkpoints. Along with the driver, the passenger must also show the same letter and vaccine card.
