Izzul invites the public, especially TransJakarta customers to participate in maintaining public facilities for the common interest.

"Of course, all public facilities must be taken care of together. Moreover, this is an important one and must be in public transportation. Because with this, all customers can feel safe and comfortable when using TransJakarta services," he said.
