Ganda Syahputra as GBK Public Relations appealed to the audience to prioritize the use of public transportation when they were about to watch Chris Martin cs.

"For access to GBK, we urge all prospective visitors to prioritize the use of public transportation, because GBK has been supported by various public transportations," said Ganda Syahputra.

The reason is, GBK will limit the access of vehicles entering the area today. Later, pedestrians will be the top priority. "On the D day, the GBK area will also only be accessible to pedestrians. So, for those who bring private vehicles or online motorcycle taxi users and so on, they will only be able to drop off at the outside door of the area," he continued.
