JAKARTA - Jakarta Governor Heru Budi Hartono admitted that he would improve supporting infrastructure in the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) area which was complained of by the Dewa 19 concert audience which was held last Saturday. Heru admitted that the DKI Provincial Government will widen roads as access to entry and exit of JIS so that the accumulation of vehicles will no longer occur. However, Heru did not explain which roads would be widened. "From behind, it is being repaired, the route will be widened. We will make the infrastructure better," said Heru when met at the DKI Jakarta DPRD building, Monday, February 6. In addition, Heru continued, currently in the process of improving public transportation facilities. In addition to the Transjakarta route, which is now operating, PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) will also build the JIS Commuter Line Station. "When it comes to public transportation, we can overcome it. Along with the activities there, we support it. Transjakarta can enter. PT KAI (station construction plan) is ongoing," he said. The 30th Anniversary of Dewa 19 at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) on Saturday, February 4 yesterday became an event that the audience could not forget. Behind the majestic appearance of Dewa 19 which was held at this international-class stadium, it turned out that there were many complaints. Complaints from the audience of the 30-year-old Dewa 19 concert were widely expressed on social media. The most complaints from netizens are about the poor access to the mobility of visitors in and out of the stadium. During the concert, a number of spectators who had tickets in the stands did not get seats to sit. The audience also complained about the poor quality of the sound system reaching the upper stands. When the concert was finished on Sunday, February 5 at around 00.00 WIB, the audience began to leave the stadium. Given that there are no parking bags in the JIS area, there are other parking access in the Ancol area and JIExpo Kemayoran. To support access to these two parking locations, there is also a shuttle bus from JIS to the external parking location. The problem is that the narrow road in front of JIS, Jalan Sunter Permai Raya and its surroundings make traffic jams unavoidable. The flow of vehicle traffic parked around the JIS area is stuck to get out of the area, including the shuttle bus that takes spectators to the parking location. Spectators who tried to order online motorcycle taxis, instead of waiting for the arrival of the next shuttle bus, were also unsuccessful many times. Many of the audience also decided to walk a few kilometers from JIS and the external parking location.
