Pulo Gebang Only Departs One Passenger Since PPKM Extension

JAKARTA - The manager of the Pulo Gebang Integrated Bus Terminal, East Jakarta, has dispatched three inter-provincial intercity buses (AKAP) with only one passenger since the extension of Level 4.

Kasatpel Ops Pulo Gebang Terminal Afif Muhroji said the data was accumulated since August 2, 2021 or when PPKM Level 4 was extended.

"The departure of AKAP bus passengers is only on August 5, 2021," Afif said as quoted by Antara, Friday, August 6.

Afif added, Pulo Gebang Terminal will not send passengers on August 2-4, 2021.

According to Afif, the reduced number of AKAP bus passengers at the Pulo Gebang Terminal was due to the strict requirements for land travel during PPKM Level 4. "The terms of passenger travel are still the same, there is no change," said Afif

The Ministry of Transportation has issued four Circulars concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Domestic Travel by Land, Air, Sea and Rail Transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic to follow up on the issuance of SE Task Force Number 16/2021.

For road trips, prospective passengers must include a vaccine card for at least the first dose and a certificate of negative RT-PCR test results 2×24 hours or negative results of "rapid test' antigen 1×24 hours before departure as travel requirements.
