BOGOR - The Jabodetabek Transportation Management Agency (BPTJ) closed the doors of Bojonggede Station, Bogor Regency, West Java, gradually and diverted electric train passengers (KLR) to the flyover or skybridge connecting the station with the terminal.

"So that people will get used to getting off city transportation using skybridges or pedestrians or escalators, it will be an option for passengers," said Acting Head of BPTJ Suharto in Bojonggede as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, December 6.

Before the door to Bojonggede Station was completely closed, BPTJ together with the Bogor Regency Transportation Service (Dishub) imposed a scheduled closure.
