Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), said that the transportation system in Indonesia has not been fully integrated. According to him, the government needs to complete the Draft Law on the National Transportation System (RUU Sistranas) so that this problem can be resolved.

"This Sistranas is important and we must complete it immediately, so that it can be an umbrella for various other aspects of transportation," said Agus in his written statement, Wednesday, July 2, 2025.

According to him, the RUU Sistranas is a legal basis for the process of planning a transportation system in an integrated national network. "Of course we need to integrate all of this, so that the planning and management of the national transportation system across modes and also across regions will be better in the future," he said.
