JAKARTA - The government plans to develop a transit oriented development (TOD) area in Dukuh Atas, Central Jakarta. The TOD development work is carried out by regional-owned enterprises (BUMD) DKI.

President Director of PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) Iwan Takwin admitted that his party will build a skydeck that connects a number of areas so that people's mobility becomes more efficient.

"In this case, for example, at TOD Dukuh Atas, there will be a skydeck that connects the 4 areas there, the 4 spots there are one so that people can move easily," said Iwan at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Friday, October 10.

Iwan hopes that this facility in the development of transit-oriented areas in central Jakarta is expected to make it easier for people to move between modes of transportation without having to leave the area.

"The TOD is actually not just one facility but building an area. Related to what is a priority together with the Provincial Government how to present or present a TOD that is really well designed, then beneficial for the region," explained Iwan.

Iwan admitted that he did not know how much the Dukuh Atas skydeck development budget was. Currently, the budget needs are still being prepared by a number of parties. This is because the funding involves many other facilities and BUMDs.

"So when we talk about the budget, we are currently compiling it but we need to think about it, it should be remembered that if the TOD budget is not talking like if we build a JIS, how much is the budget, no, because there are several facilities that are connected and integrated there," he explained.

On Monday, September 29, DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung together with Transportation Minister Dudy Purwagandhi discussed the TOD development plan in the Dukuh Atas area, Central Jakarta.

Pramono said the government would add access to public transportation integrations that make it easier for people using public transportation to switch modes in the Dukuh Atas area, starting from the Jakarta MRT, KRL Commuter Line, airport trains, to the Jabodebek LRT.

"So this TOD is responsible for being MRT. It connects four modes of LRT, MRT, KRL, and also airport trains. If it has been connected, everything through Dukuh Atas will not rain, it will be well connected," said Pramono in the Gambir area.

Pramono said that the development of the Dukuh Atas TOD area would be carried out by PT MRT Jakarta. He targets TOD updates to be carried out over the next two years.

"There is no position, it's just a matter of time. Hopefully we both target 2027 to be finished," said Pramono.
