Bandung City Government Prepares Regulation On Work Entry Hours To Overcome Congestion

BANDUNG - The City Government (Pemkot) of Bandung, West Java has prepared a new regulation that regulates working hours for office employees as an effort to reduce traffic congestion in the City of Kembang.

Acting Mayor of Bandung A Koswara said that this policy aims to divide the flow of vehicles during peak hours so that there is no buildup at points prone to traffic jams.

"In two weeks, we will start socializing the policy," said Koswara in Bandung, Antara, Friday, October 18.

Koswara revealed that the beginning of this program will be carried out by arranging the working hours of civil servants (PNS) and also the entry hours for students to school.

After that, the regulation of operating hours of goods vehicles will also be implemented, considering that large vehicles often cause congestion on major city routes.

"This regulation is expected to be able to divide the traffic flow more evenly throughout the day, so that it can reduce the volume of vehicles during rush hour," he said.

Furthermore, Koswara said that his party had started discussions with various parties, including the Department of Transportation, to ensure that this policy went well.

He is optimistic that this policy will have a positive impact in reducing congestion in the city of Bandung.

"We will continue to evaluate and test it so that this policy can run optimally and reduce congestion," he said.
