Selfie At The Horseshoe Flyover JPO, Anies: Give A New And Unique Experience

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan visited the pedestrian bridge (JPO) Flyover Lenteng Agung or Tapal Kuda at night.

Anies did not forget to take a selfie of himself in the middle of the JPO which was decorated with lights with changing colors. Anies was also approached several times by residents who asked for a group photo.

In uploading his Instagram account, Anies said that the JPO at the Horseshoe Flyover not only serves as pedestrian crossing access, but also provides a new experience for passersby.

"This JPO is not just a bridge for people to pass by, but also now provides a new and unique experience for passersby," Anies said on Instagram aniesbaswedan, Friday, September 3.

Before the JPO, Anies said crossing at Lenteng Agung was a challenging journey. Now, crossing is safer and will give a pleasant impression to anyone passing by.

This can be seen in the JPO situation that residents use to capture photo moments and interact with each other. Although, the JPO is currently still in the final phase of completion.

"Although this JPO has not been inaugurated, it is safe to use. Yesterday I met many residents who came with their families and children to the JPO, to enjoy the unique atmosphere," he said.

In the future, Anies wants to increase the number of connecting bridges so that the interaction of residents between villages will be closer. Remember, many villages in Jakarta are separated by rivers, toll roads, and train tracks.

The increased interaction and mobility of residents between villages in Lenteng Agung, according to Anies, can also move the residents' economy. He gave an example, a shop that used to only have customers from one village, with this JPO, it will be able to bring in consumers across villages.

"So, the economic and social effects are there," said Anies.

"To the residents of LA (Lenteng Agung), happy interacting at this new JPO, please take care of it and use it as well as possible. And remember that Jakarta is still PPKM Level 3, always maintain the 6M health protocol when interacting anywhere," he concluded.
