BOGOR - Bogor Regent Ade Yasin said the construction of a sky bridge that will connect the terminal with the Bojonggede Station, Bogor Regency, West Java, can improve the community's economy.

"It will definitely be crowded when you wake up, even if it's just passing by, people will also be interested in stopping at Bojonggede," he said in Cibinong, Bogor, Antara, Wednesday, March 2.

Ade Yasin said the construction of the flyover was right in Bojonggede, because the area directly adjacent to Depok City was quite strategic because people passed from Bogor to Jakarta and vice versa.

He admitted that he had instructed the ranks of the Bogor Regency Government to be good at collaborating with various parties in realizing the construction of a flyover which also involved the Jabodetabek Transportation Management Agency.

"This needs to be taken seriously, because it is a bit difficult if we build it only financed from the APBD. We must be able to work together with investors, as well as the central government because building this must be done collaboratively together," he said.

Previously, the Director of Infrastructure of BPTJ, Jumardi, said that this year's flyover project was entering the auction stage. The budget is Rp. 16.5 billion to build a sky bridge that will connect the north side of Bojonggede Station with Bojongged Type C Terminal.

"This year the auction process, for that we want to make sure that we can do this program together," said Jumardi.

According to him, the construction of the flyover needs to be done to increase public interest in using public transportation, as well as to relieve congestion around Bojonggede Station.
