Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. A viral rumor circulating on X (formerly Twitter) claiming that the Ministry of Transportation plans to impose taxes on bicycle users is entirely false. It clarified that no such regulation is under consideration.

The Ministry is not preparing any regulations regarding bicycle taxes, according to Transportation Ministry Spokesperson Adita Irawati.

She further explained that the ministry's regulatory focus regarding bicycles is strictly limited to enhancing safety standards for cyclists on public roads, particularly as bicycles become a more prevalent mode of daily transportation. 

The public is urged to verify information through official government channels to avoid falling victim to online misinformation.
