JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan invites supporters of the Persija soccer club, Jakmania, to participate in campaigning for the use of public transportation to the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS).

In the celebration or commemoration of Jakmania's 24th anniversary, Anies Baswedan said that the international standard stadium was not designed to provide parking spaces to encourage people to use public transportation.

"I invite The Jak to jointly campaign for the use of public transportation, starting with the stadium using public transportation. That is what happens in big and developed cities in the world. Watching football using public transportation, so there is no traffic jam," said Anies at the Sunda Mosque. Kelapa Jakarta, Central Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Sunday, December 19.

Anies explained that the transportation sector BUMD DKI, PT Transport Jakarta (TransJakarta) has opened a new route from the Harmoni bus stop to JIS. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will also build a KRL station near JIS.

Previously, Anies said that the audience capacity at JIS reached 82,000 people, but only a few parking spaces for vehicles were provided. This is so that football match spectators use public transportation and minimize private vehicles.

"This stadium has a capacity of 82,000, but there are very few parking spaces. Spectators who come there must take public transportation," Anies said in a virtual discussion on social media @jcccommunity, Sunday, December 12.

Currently, TransJakarta has opened a new Harmoni-JIS route. This new route provides two medium fleets that serve customers and operate from Monday to Friday, 06.00-10.00 WIB and afternoon at 15.00-21.00 WIB with a fare of Rp. 3,500 one way and a travel time of 20 minutes.

The JIS-Harmoni TransJakarta route trajectory includes: Halte Harmoni - Jalan Juanda - Jalan POS - Jalan Dr. Sutomo - Jalan Gunung Sahari - Jalan Underpass Angkasa - Jalan HBR Motik - Jalan Danau Sunter Barat - JIS.
