Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, said that his party would increase the number of personnel who would unravel congestion during peak hours, during the current rainy season. Later, there will be an additional 825 administrative personnel on duty in the field and working with personnel who have previously been deployed, as well as the Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya. "We from the Transportation Agency have added strength for arrangements in the field, where 825 administrative personnel will be seconded in the field," Syafrin told reporters, Monday, October 24. The administrative officers deployed, said Syafrin, will go to the field at 06.30-09.00 WIB. After that, they returned to their respective offices to work as usual. Then, officers who received a shift in the afternoon will go to the field at 16.30-19.00 WIB. "This is dedicated to an additional time of 16.30 to 19.00 they will participate in making arrangements, and until extreme weather can be better in the future," said Syafrin. Previously, Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono asked his staff and related parties to immediately inform them if they find roads flooded due to extreme weather marked by high rain intensity. According to Heru, with information earlier, people can avoid roads that are prone to being inundated while driving or using public transportation to avoid long traffic jams. "Together with the Head of BPBD, Dirlantas, the Department of Transportation, it could provide information to the public earlier regarding points prone to inundation, so that they are prone to congestion," said Heru. When they find out the inundation points, according to Heru, people will be able to easily choose a travel route that is safe from inundation and congestion. In addition, people can also decide to work from home (WFH). "Giving it earlier is better. I also saw the tools from the Transportation Agency providing information long ago, through TMC, through the official DKI channels, so that people can choose, namely to keep working or WFH," he explained.
