Demonstration Of Job Creation Law, Transjakarta Routes Diverted

JAKARTA - Demonstrations of the Job Creation Act in a number of regions have diverted a number of TransJakarta routes, passing unaffected roads.

"Several TransJakarta operational services have undergone modifications in the form of route redirection and shortening," said Head of the Corporate Secretary and Public Relations Division of PT Transportation Jakarta Nadia Diposantoso in a written statement, Thursday, October 8.

Corridor 1 to Blok M-Kota route, he said, was diverted due to the closure of the route in the Monas area, Central Jakarta.

So the route becomes Blok M Sarinah-TL Sarinah exit the lane-TL Bank Indonesia turn left-Jalan Kebon Sirih-Hotel Milenium turn left-Jalan Fachrudin-Jati Baru go straight-Jalan Cideng Barat-TL Tarakan turn right-Halte Petojo-TL Harmoni turn left -Harmony-City.

Corridor 2 to Pulogadung-Harmoni route was diverted through the Budi Utomo veteran road. Then enter Corridor 5 on the Ancol-Kampung Melayu route-Senen-Pulogadung bus stop. "But the opposite direction is normal," he said.

The route for Corridor 6A to Ragunan-Monas route via Kuningan and corridor 6B to Ragunan-Monas route via Semanggi was shortened to Ragunan-Bank Indonesia in order to avoid demonstrators of the Ciptaker Law.

Furthermore, the direction of Monas was diverted only to the Bank Indonesia Bus Stop. Then make a U-turn at the Horse Statue and normal service until Ragunan.

"The stop that does not serve is the Monas bus stop," he said.

Next, Corridor 3 for Kalideres-Pasar Baru and Corridor 8 for Lebak Bulus-Harmoni will be diverted to the Tomang route. Because the demonstrators still filled the Sumber Waras Hospital area.

"Even so, the direction of Kalideres and Lebak Bulus is running normally," he said.

Then, Corridor 7A leading to Kampung Rambutan-Lebak Bulus was diverted via the Ampera Toll Road. The buses in the corridor do not stop at the Jaha stop until Lorena.

In addition, the other affected corridor is Corridor 1A, which is heading to Pantai Indah Kapuk-City Hall, which has been shortened to PIK-Harmoni and does not stop at Monas, City Hall, and National Library stops.

"The route will operate normally again if conditions allow the bus fleet to pass," he explained while still reminding all passengers to continue to implement health protocols to prevent COVID-19.
