JAKARTA - The South Coastal Line (Pansela) is predicted to be an alternative route for people to go home. This route also wants to be promoted as an alternative route. However, there are several points of the Pansela route that are not ready to be used.

Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi confirmed that there are points on the Pansela route that are not ready to be used. This is based on the results of his monitoring.

"Pansela is our concern therefore, Kakorlantas and the Director General of Land messages from Banten, West Java to Central Java. The Director General of Land found that there were still pieces that were not good," he said in a working meeting with Commission V of the DPR, Wednesday, February 15.

Therefore, Budi asked not to recommend Pansela as an alternative route for this year's Eid homecoming.

"And we recommend not capmagn Pansela. So there are indeed pieces that can function perfectly and there are still small ones," he said.

Budi said that his party would coordinate with the Ministry of PUPR to repair the Pansela route.

"And we will coordinate with PUPR later and maybe we will make improvements," he said.

Budi's statement was in response to the Chairman of Commission V DPR RI Lasarus. At the meeting, Larasarus said that so far this Pansela route has not been used optimally as an alternative route during homecoming.

"We still get reports for Pansela that we still need to improve the road safety facilities in order for us to face Lebaran later," said Lasarus.

According to Lasarus, the road conditions on the Pansela route are quite good. However, he admitted that he received reports of lack of safety facilities in these southern coastal districts.

"Please allow the Minister if it is still possible for us to pursue it ahead of the upcoming Eid. Maybe it needs to be conveyed to us the progress of handling this Pansela," he said.
