JAKARTA - The Yogyakarta City Government has asked all tourism buses to continue to comply with the one gate system (one access system) rules when entering the city as a way to prevent the recurrence of illegal parking cases with fares outside the reasonable limits.

"If the tourism buses comply with the one gate system rule, then they will certainly get a parking space in the official parking lot. So please obey the rules. Don't wander off into Giwangan," said Yogyakarta Deputy Mayor Heroe Poerwadi in Yogyakarta, quoted by Antara, Monday. January 24.

In the one gate system policy, every tourist bus that brings groups of tourists into Yogyakarta is required to check health documents at the Yogyakarta Giwangan Terminal to ensure all tourists have been vaccinated.

If passed, the tourism bus will get a ticket to enter special parking lots around Malioboro, including the Abu Bakar Ali Parking Park, Senopati Parking Park, and Ngabean Parking Park.

The Yogyakarta City Government said that the one gate system rule would still apply because currently PPKM rules are still being applied.

"If you choose not to enter Giwangan, the bus may use parking in illegal parking lots and it is possible that you will experience a similar case that went viral," he said.

In this case, the bus crew and parking attendants in the illegal parking lot were found to have marked up the bus parking fare of IDR 350,000. The complaint was then uploaded to social media and went viral.

"We accept criticism and input regarding parking. However, we also hope that these criticisms and inputs are conveyed based on correct and clear information so that they can be followed up properly," he said.

For consumers who are victims of the mark up case and then upload the story through social media, Heroe ensures that the Yogyakarta City Government will not file a lawsuit.

As for the bus crew and parking attendants who did the mark up, Heroe said, the actions they took included tarnishing tourism in Yogyakarta.

He said the Yogyakarta City Government would take firm action, one of which was taking legal action against parking violations.
