Abstract

Background: This study examines the need for sustainable transportation in DKI Jakarta, focusing on the effectiveness of fiscal incentives for Battery Electric Motor Vehicles (KBLBB), particularly Electric Buses. While prior research indicates that fiscal policies can promote cleaner vehicle technologies, the impact on public transit adoption in Indonesia remains underexplored. Methods: A qualitative approach was used, featuring in-depth interviews with stakeholders across government sectors. Data were analyzed thematically to uncover barriers and opportunities related to KBLBB fiscal incentives.  Findings: Results indicate that limited deployment of Electric Buses is due to barriers such as inadequate infrastructure and insufficient production capacity. Stakeholders expressed that current fiscal incentives are inadequate to drive a significant shift toward electric public transport, revealing a link between perceived incentive effectiveness and adoption willingness. Conclusion: The study concludes that stronger fiscal incentives and coordinated policies are essential for developing a sustainable transportation ecosystem in DKI Jakarta, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts among government entities. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research offers new insights into the challenges of implementing fiscal incentives for electric public transportation in Indonesia, highlighting stakeholder perspectives and policy effectiveness not previously addressed in the literature.
