THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PALANGKA RAYA REGIONAL REGULATION NUMBER 7 OF 2012
ON BUS STATION CHARGES, ESPECIALLY INTER-CITY TRANSPORTATION AND INTERPROVINCIAL
TRANSPORTATION (AKAP) AND ITS LAW ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS
The government of Palangka Raya City has issued Regional Regulation number 7 of 2012 on Bus
Station Charges (Retribusi). Since the collection of the charges has not been conducted properly, the
implementation of Palangka Raya Regional Regulation number 7 of 2012 is called into question. The
purpose of this research is to understand and analyze the implementation of Palangka Raya Regional
Regulation number 7 of 2012 on Bus Station Charges. This research also aims to look at how the law
is enforced by the officials. This research employs a qualitative method in which all the data are
processed and analyze. To draw conclusions, this research uses a deductive reasoning. It turns out
that the implementation of Palangka Raya Regional Regulation number 7 of 2012 does not meet its
targets. This is partly due to the construction of type A station which is not suitable both for the
location of the bus station and for the city’s current condition. Law enforcement carried out by the
officials has not been effective, as there has been no strict sanction given by government agencies
against Otobos Company which violates the regional regulation. In addition, there is no proper
supervision to oversee how the government charge are collected and there is a lack of awareness
from the enterprises themselves.
