JGTS Feat JakLingko: Introducing the Leading Digital Public Service for Students

Like the previous JSC Goes to School volume, JGTS Feat JakLingko is implemented as an effort from Jakarta Smart City in collaboration with technology companies to prepare high school, vocational and MA students to be able to recognize and face digital industries as well as its challenges. Through JSC Goes to School, not only students in Jakarta can get new insights, but also networking opportunities with digital industry activists, E-certificates, as well as prizes in the form of vouchers.

JSC Goes to School Feat JakLingko was held on May 9 2023 in the hall of SMK Negeri 57 South Jakarta. A total of 414 participants from class 11 attended the activity. The event started at 10.00 WIB with a screening of the Jakarta Smart City profile video. Then, the Principal of SMKN 57 Jakarta gave a welcoming speech. After that, the moderator opened the event, conveyed the activity rules, and introduced the first speaker from JakLingko.

Through the sharing session with JakLingko, Shucy Rahmadhani explained about the JakLingko application and how easy it is to connect more than one mode of MRT, LRT and Transjakarta transportation with just one click on the application. There are six highlighted features, which are as follows.

• Almost 50% cashback with integrated fares for trips of more than one mode for MRT, LRT and Transjakarta;
• Estimated Time Arrival (ETA) feature for Transjakarta, MRT Jakarta, KRL Commuter, and LRT Jakarta;
• PPOB feature to pay for daily needs such as BPJS, electricity tokens, pulses;
• Features of ordering transportation tickets in a practical way; And
• Transportation Card feature to connect electronic money in the JakLingko application.

Apart from that, Suchy also shared about the JakLingko integration tariff which allows you to pay less for trips with more than one transportation mode (using MRT, LRT, or Transjakarta). This integration fee applies to modes of transportation that only pass bus stops or stations and does not apply to the use of cards/applications for non-BRT Transjakarta, public transportation, or integration with online motorcycle taxis. By presenting this, it is hoped that all of the JakLingko’s services can be utilized by students during their mobility while studying, as well as other activities. After the presentation of the material, the speaker asked several questions to the participants. Participants who answered correctly receive merchandises from JSC and JakLingko. Likewise with the participants who asked questions during the question and answer session with the speaker.

In the second half of the event, it was Imam's turn to explain about Jakarta Smart City and how JSC utilizes data integration in solving urban problems in Jakarta through various products, such as the CRM complaint channel application, the Jakarta Response Covid-19 website, and especially the JAKIapplication. Apart from that, he also introduced several of JAKI's features that can support access to learning, career, creativity, and health, such as JakWiFi, JakNaker, JakLingko, to information on Jakarta Smart Card Assistance (KJP). Just like the first sharing session, after the presentation, a quiz on the material presented was also held.

Afterwards, participants had the opportunity to ask questions directly to the speaker. Several contestants who asked questions and participants with the most correct answers during the quiz received merchandise from the committee. JSC Goes to School Feat JakLingko ended by the moderator reading the conclusions and students filling out the feedback form as part of the committee's evaluation.

What Do JSC Goes to School Feat JakLingko Participant Say?

Considering that the goal of JSC Goes to School is to prepare future talents to get to know and deal with the digital industry, impressions and feedback from the participating students are needed.

After the event, the Jakarta Smart City team approached two students at SMKN 57 South Jakarta, Zaki and Miranda to ask about their impressions as well as messages and input, both for JSC Goes to School and the JAKI application. We also interviewed the Principal of SMK Negeri 57 South Jakarta, Valentina Purnama Dewi on the same matter. The following are excerpts from the interview with them.
