SOLO - Mayor of Solo, Central Java, Gibran Rakabuming Raka asked PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) to beautify facilities at Solobalapan Station to provide comfort to the community. "Earlier, we discussed the issue of integrating Solobalapan, skybridge, Tirtonadi Terminal, Sheikh Zayed Mosque and others," said Gibran after meeting with the new official Head of PT KAI Daop VI Yogyakarta, Bambang Respationo at Surakarta City Hall, Antara, Tuesday, July 4. Gibran said one of the questions discussed regarding the skybridge connecting Solobalapan Station with Tirtonadi Terminal should be more beautified. "Many complaints of slippery ceramics, collusion. Later (slowly) repaired. The Daop head is very cooperative in reviving the Solobalapan Station, Tirtonadi and Sheikh Zayed," he said. With the integration to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, he said, in the future visitors can go through a skybridge or be able to take advantage of the shuttle bus that has been provided by the officers. "It can be done, it can be done. Anyway, we want everything to be passed," he said. Meanwhile, Bambang Respasio confirmed a meeting with Gibran to discuss the new face of Solobalapan Station "In the future, what will happen, there will be a slight arrangement of faces from Solobalapan Station. One of our things is to shift the writing of Solobalapan Station so that everything looks like people," he said.

In addition, according to him, there will be additional decorations in the form of locomotive monuments which are currently being renovated at the Yasa Yogyakarta Hall.
