BOGOR - Bogor Resort Police formed a task force (task force) to anticipate the existence of an alternative jockey for Puncak, Bogor Regency, West Java, so that they do not shoot at prices to tourists during the Isra Mikraj and New Year's 2025 holidays.

"For the jockey, we have created a task force to anticipate where the task force will patrol every hour, both on toll roads that like to stop the vehicle," said Head of Bogor Police Traffic Unit AKP Rizky Guntama at Simpang Gadog, Ciawi, Sunday.

According to him, the jockeys of alternative routes that often enter the queue of vehicles at the Puncak Toll Exit also hinder tourist cars when they want to enter the Puncak route, which has an impact on increasing the length of the queue for vehicles.

"On the alternative patrol route, both from the police and Satlantas, to anticipate the existence of jockeys who bring tourists up to the top by shooting prices," he said.

During the Isra Mikraj and Chinese New Year 2025 holidays, his party also implemented traffic engineering on the Puncak tourist route from Friday (24/1) to Wednesday (29/1).

Traffic engineering to anticipate the density of vehicles, he said, is in the form of an odd-even vehicle system as well as a one-way system or one-way situationally.

"One way remains situational. If it is from Jakarta to Puncak, we will carry out a one way to go up. Usually those who will go up in the morning, go back to their respective homes during the day," said AKP Rizky.

The peak density of vehicles on the 22-kilometer route is predicted to occur this weekend and on Wednesday (29/1).

"The peak is on Wednesday to go down. What is anticipated is on Saturdays and Sundays which go up," he said.

AKP Rizky said that his party had deployed 350 joint officers to guard the Puncak Bogor tourist route.

For tourists who want to take a vacation to Bogor Regency, especially the Puncak Bogor area, he appealed to them to maintain the health of their bodies and vehicles.

For the Puncak route, during this long holiday, his party created a assistance post at a certain point.

"Please visit if you need the help of members. We are ready to carry out our duties and ready to help the community," said AKP Rizky.
