Residents Of Visitors To The Prabowo - Gibran Carnival At The HI Roundabout Complained About The Rise Of Illegal Parking With A Tariff Of Rp. 10 Thousand On Jalan Agus Salim Menteng

JAKARTA - The HI Roundabout area, Central Jakarta, will be increasingly crowded with people on Sunday, October 20 Afternoon. At around 10.20 WIB, a number of people returned from various regions and gathered in the HI Roundabout area, Central Jakarta.

From VOI's observation, a number of people came in groups, one family to an individual to the HI Roundabout area to watch the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka parade as President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia for the period 2024-2029.

The lack of official available parking bags forces people who are present to park their vehicles in any place.

"Let's park, park, park. It's safe to park here, there (while pointing at the direction of the HI Roundabout) there is no parking lot," said an impromptu illegal parking attendant directing motorcyclists to leave the vehicle on the shoulder of the road.

Hundreds of motorbikes were also seen parked on the shoulder of Jalan Agus Salim and other connecting roads towards the HI Roundabout.

"Park Rp10 thousand, sir. Everyone pays Rp10 thousand on average. It's safe," said the thug.

Ironically, around the illegal parking lot in the HI Roundabout area, Jalan Agus Salim and Jalan Imam Bonjol, there are also a number of security forces. However, the illegal parking practice was not carried out.

Azam, one of the motorcyclists, complained about the many illegal parking practices that were used by a number of individuals to earn profits.

"What is the concept of this. This is a people's party, it should all be free. If you want to watch the carnival, you have to pay for parking Rp. 10 thousand. Illegal parking again. The authorities must act," complained Azam.

Previously, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) provided 26 parking bags for people visiting during the people's party for the inauguration of the President and Vice President-elect Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Sunday, October 20, 2024.

"We provide 26 parking locations around the people's stage and routes or inauguration routes for the President and Vice President Elected for the 2024-2029 Period on Sunday for the sake of smoothing together," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Service (Dishub) Syafrin Liputo when confirmed in Jakarta, Saturday.

Syafrin said that his party provided 29,155 Parking Room Units (SRP) consisting of 17,583 motorcycle SRPs, 21,390 car SRPs and 182 SRPs for buses.
