JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya urges people who want to attend directly the People's Festival and Celebration Night of the 80th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia to use public transportation. This is because the parking space provided is very limited
Dirlantas Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Komarudin said that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government had set a special tariff for public transportation on August 17-18 amounting to Rp 80. So, the public does not need to spend a lot of money.
"Parking bags are very limited. We also prohibit illegal parking attendants who can hinder traffic circulation around Monas," said Komarudin, Saturday, August 16.
Moreover, at the celebration night of the 80th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia there will be five entertainment stages ranging from Monas, Sarinah, HI Roundabout, Dukuh Atas, to Sampoerna Strategic.
In addition, there is also a carnival that crosses Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Jalan MH Thamrin, to Jalan Sudirman to Senayan.
The series of activities and the prediction will attract the attention of the public to attend in large quantities. Thus, it has an impact on the density of traffic flow around the location.
"Starting at 19.00 WIB, traffic flow will be diverted. Only public transportation such as Transjakarta are allowed to pass," explained Komarudin.
