To Prevent Illegal Levies and Regional Revenue Leakage, Solo’s Parking Attendants Equipped with QRIS

SOLO, KOMPAS.com - The Solo City Government in Central Java has launched new uniforms for parking attendants (jukir) working in Zone B, the main road areas.

"Zone B includes Jalan Slamet Riyadi, Jalan Gatot Subroto, Jalan Radjiman, and Jalan Teuku Umar. A total of 250 jukir received the new uniforms," said Solo Transportation Agency Head Taufiq Muhammad in Solo, Central Java, on Friday (18/9/2026).

Taufiq explained that the new uniforms were introduced in response to numerous complaints submitted through the City Government’s official complaint channels and social media.

He hopes the new uniforms will improve the jukir's appearance and service quality in the main road areas.

"The uniforms were updated to boost the performance of parking attendants. Many complaints we received on ULAS and Pemkot’s social media concerned the performance of parking officers," Taufiq said.

Equipped with Cashless Payment via EDC and QRIS

Besides the new uniforms, jukir are also provided with digital payment tools using static QRIS codes and EDC devices through E-Parkir Netzme.

Besides easing payment access, this digital system aims to prevent illegal levies (pungli).

"In Zone B, we provide QRIS payment facilities. If customers still pay cash, since the fee is Rp 3,000 but sometimes they pay Rp 4,000, jukir often claim they don’t have change. That’s why we offer QRIS services," he added.

Cutting Leakage of Regional Revenue

Solo Mayor Respati Ardi said that the cashless payment system for jukir is an effort to curb illegal levies and prevent regional revenue leakage.

According to existing regulations, parking fee revenues are split with 60 percent to the operator and 40 percent to the local government.

"There is very high community demand for this which reduces leakage and ensures good service for the public," Respati said.

Respati explained that Solo is continuously transforming into a cashless city. Prior to jukir, the digital payment system was also applied to becak (pedicab) drivers.

He noted that implementing a cashless system for jukir is a major challenge for the city government. Nonetheless, this commitment must be upheld to guarantee fair tariffs for the community.

"Since Solo is a cashless city, the shift started with becak drivers and now extends to jukir. It is a joint challenge to ensure no illegal levies exceed the official tariff," he said.
