JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendy appealed to travelers who do not yet have tickets not to enter Merak Port, Cilegon, Banten.
According to Muhadjir, when giving a press statement at the Merak branch of the PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry Office, Cilegon, Banten, early Saturday 30 April, it was one way to reduce the density of vehicles at the port.
"If you don't have a ticket, don't force yourself to enter the port," said the Minister of Education and Culture for the 2016-2019 period, as reported by Antara.
Then, after getting tickets, Muhadjir asked travelers to pay attention to the departure time and not to arrive at Merak Harbor too soon.
The man from East Java added that there is a tendency for people who already have tickets to rush off to the port so that they arrive at the place far ahead of time.
"Many have not yet time to leave but are already at the port. The port party, right, it is impossible to refuse," said Muhadjir.
Regarding travelers who do not have tickets, the Director of River, Lake and Crossing Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) Junaidi said that if they enter the port, it will prolong the crossing service.
This situation can have an impact on increasingly dense queues and congestion at Merak Harbor and its surroundings.
"We urge the public to obey the rules and prepare the trip as well as possible so that there is no accumulation," Junaidi said.
