JAKARTA - Users of the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk actually have to pay for Transjakarta tickets even though they don't take Transjakarta buses. This was revealed by one of the users of the flyover connecting the three modes of transportation.

Putri admitted that she intends to enter the Kebayoran Lama Commuter Line Station using a Skywalk. However, upon arrival at the bridge, Putri was required to tap in the Transjakarta stop before crossing it.

His electronic money card was also cut off for IDR 3,500 for tapping in and tapping out before entering the station.

"My card turned out to be cut by Rp3,500. Even though I don't intend to take the Transjakarta, I just want to go through the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk to the station," Putri told reporters, Monday, February 6.

When confirmed, the Head of the Highways Agency Hari Nugroho confirmed this. On the day he said, his party deliberately installed a tap-in machine and tap out on the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk.

This is because the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk was built with the aim of making it easier for people to move modes of public transportation between the Velbak Transjakarta Bus Stop (koridor 3), the Kebayoran Lama Bus Stop (koridor 8), and Kebayoran Lama Station.

"So it is the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk to make it easier for passengers to reach 3 modes of transportation, not as crossings for the general public. So, they are required to use a card," said Hari.

Thus, the assumption is that all Kebayoran Lama Skywalk users will definitely use the Transjakarta mode of transportation. Meanwhile, for people who only go to Kebayoran Lama Station, they can access it via the usual pedestrian route.

On Friday, January 27, the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk was inaugurated by the Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono. The Kebayoran Lama Skywalk is 452 meters long. This Skywalk was built to integrate and facilitate pedestrian access to the Transjakarta Velbak Bus Stop (koridor 13), Kebayoran Lama Transjakarta Bus Stop (koridor 8), and Kebayoran Lama KRL Station.

This bridge has three elevators with a capacity of 8 to 9 people each, as well as 10 CCTV units inside the bridge area and 3 CCTV in the outside area. In the evening, the Kebayoran Lama Skywalk was illuminated by 215 LED lights and lighting for internal lighting.
