JAKARTA - The HI Roundabout Transjakarta stop and a number of other shelters have been able to operate in moderation after being burned and damaged by the masses following a demonstration against the Work Creation Law, Thursday, October 8.
When he learned that a number of bus stops were burned and damaged, DKI Governor Anies Baswedan admitted that he was furious. This is because, according to him, the bus stop that was damaged in the center of Jakarta is the best among the other stops.
"We are all furious because the bus stop is heavily damaged. Moreover, the one that was damaged is the best, prettiest, and most sophisticated bus stop in Jakarta, maybe in Indonesia," Anies said on his Instagram account on Monday, October 12.
However, said Anies, this anger should not defeat the interests of the people. He said, all the focus is on working so that residents can return to using public facilities today for community activities.
Currently, these shelters can be used with temporary repairs, while waiting for a complete renovation. Anies appreciated the officers who had repaired the bus stop so that it could be used. This is shown in the photo upload on the Instagram account @aniesbaswedan.
"Behind the photos of the bus stop that has returned to operation, there are hundreds of people working hard 24 hours. Day and night, morning and afternoon, non-stop. Everyone intervenes to restore it. Not just wishful thinking," he said.
Continuing, the former Minister of Education and Culture invited the public to guard these emergency public facilities, while waiting for renovations, until they return to normal.
"The fire may burn the halts, but the knowledge and enthusiasm to rebuild it so that the residents do not burn, it is getting stronger," he said.
Previously, he said dozens of TransJakarta bus stops were damaged by the masses during a demonstration against the Job Creation Act. The loss is estimated at IDR65 billion.
"So there are 46 shelters that were damaged and then 3 shelters that were severely damaged. This is like the stops at the HI Roundabout, Tosari and Sawah Besar. It was badly damaged and had to be completely overhauled," said Anies, Saturday, October 10.
There were 250 officers from several related agencies deployed to speed up cleaning up the remains of the damage. Then, in the process of renovating the bus stop is targeted to be completed in November. PT TransJakarta will carry out repairs to the bus stops.
"We hope that within 5 weeks everything will start operating again. It is PT Transjakarta's asset that will fix all of this," he said.
