JAKARTA - Chairman of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Yuke Yurike, emphasized support for the development of integrated mass transportation across regions, especially the plan to build the East-West Cross-MRT Phase 2 route from Kembangan-Balaraja.
This project is considered crucial to meet the mobility needs of the people of Jakarta and Banten who are increasingly interconnected. According to him, the construction of large-scale infrastructure involving agglomeration areas cannot be carried out without equal cooperation between regional governments.
The collaboration between the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and the Banten Provincial Government is said to be the key so that the MRT project does not stop as a plan on paper, but actually answers the needs of movement of residents across regions.
"Any cooperation must really bring together both parties, and especially for the residents of Banten and Jakarta," Yuke told reporters, Wednesday, February 11.
The PDI-P politician assessed that the development of the East-West Cross-MRT Phase 2 was not merely a transportation project, but part of a long-term effort to build an organized and sustainable urban area.
So, development that is boxed within administrative boundaries is no longer relevant to the dynamics of the agglomeration area. Jakarta cannot carry out this project alone.
"Everything can't just be thought of for DKI alone. This agglomeration must also communicate and integrate with each other," said Yuke.
The integration in question not only concerns the MRT line, but also other public transportation systems and inter-regional road networks. Yuke gave an example of the connectivity of West Jakarta with the Tangerang area which needs to be prepared thoroughly since the planning stage.
The D Commission of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, said Yuke, is ready to provide support for policies and programs related to the integration of cross-regional infrastructure. This support will be carried out in accordance with the functions of the DPRD, ranging from supervision, planning, to synchronization of policies with surrounding areas.
Through the signing of the MoU on the study of the potential contribution of the East-West Cross-MRT Phase 2, Yuke hopes that the synergy between Jakarta and Banten will be strengthened.
This project is expected not only to solve traffic congestion, but also to encourage equitable development and improve the quality of life of people in the Jabodetabek agglomeration area.
"There is also a possible passage that is penetrated in West Jakarta to Tangerang. We are ready to support," he concluded.
