Jakarta's Organda (that is the name of public transportation companies association) issues a decree for increase in taxi fares. It says, those who set price below that stated in the regulation will be punished.
Ridiculous.

ridiculous. there's no such thing as a regulation for taxi fares. is there?
apparently there is, jeff. a silly one. they claim that enforcing a minimum price would be healthy for the taxi companies. which one?
BB, a monopoly-like taxi company. Orang mau naik Express dan Putra yang murah dan aman koq dilarang?
Beberapa unit Taxi Express saja sudah menggunakan gas guna menyikapi kenaikan BBM. Nah, saya rasa pengelola Taxi Express ini ikut kuliah Pak Atjo, sehingga micro-foundations cukup kuat, ya nggak?
Aco for Rektor UI!!!
Ketua STEKPI atau senat akademik ajah... :-) mengikuti jejak sesepuh LPEM/UI yg dulu (Pak Barli Halim, Rustam Didong, Pak Ali Wardhana, Pak Komara Djaja, Iwan Jaya Aziz dll) biar jadi STEKPI jadi bagus lagi. Please...
STEKPI is to liitle for high calibre economist which rarely Indonesia has. Actually Sri Mulyani should not hold double position in the cabinet. The post for Coordinating Minister for Economic has to to Atjo!!!
Viva Atjo, you probably the best candidate to accompany Jusuf Kalla for the next presidential race...
Punished for what and by who?
Not ridiculous but rather stupid. As you pointed out in a more recent post this would seem to restrict competition to two bands of fares.
Ultimately people will vote with their choices of taxi. They simply will not get in a Bluebird or other upper range taxi fare cab and choose the cheaper option.
The more expensive taxis become the more incentive there is to own a car of your own.
It is already time for the government to get its head out of the sand and initiate and follow through on some decent public transportation.
Yes, Rob, I agree. It's the bigger problem that needs to be addressed: decent public transportation
