History

Founded back at 1920, Perum PPD is a state owned company that is under control of the Ministry of Transportation that went along with the country's history. What would be Perum PPD, which have been commissioned as a public company in 1981 based on Government Regulation No. 24-year 1981 which is perfected into Government Regulation No. 32-year 1984, is the result of merging the Nederlansch Indische Tram Maatschappij with the Bataviach Elektrische Tram Maatschappij approaching the year of 1925 corresponding with the advice from the Burgemeester of Kota Batavia which was under Ir. Voorneman and became Bataviache Verkeers Maatchappij (BVMNV).

However, since the occupation ofJapan in Indonesia from 1942 until 1945, BVMNV was changed into Djakarta Shinden Jakarta Tram (ジャカルタ市電, Jakarta Shiden) which only operates the city's tram. City buses from the BVMNV was used for other needs.

Just a day after The Nation proclaimed independence, a number of workers of Djakarta Shinden sponsored by Menteng 31 youth urged for the Japanese authorities to immediately hand over the tram to the youth. Since 20 August 1945, the tram was handed over to the Indonesian Government and was operated by Djawatan Kereta Api tram section.

To prioritize public interest, BVMNV was then nationalized and controlled by the Transport Minister under Emergency law No.10-year 1954.

As a follow-up to the nationalization, with deed from notary Mr. Raden Suwandi No. 76 dated 30 June 1954 and No. 82 dated 21 December 1954, BVMNV has its legal form as a public company and named "Perum Pengangkut Penumpang Djakarta".

Perum PPD have its main office at Jl. Mayjen D.I. Panjaitan No. 1, Cawang, Jakarta.
