YOGYAKARTA - Tauhiyat as the President Director of PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda) opened his voice regarding the reasons why many Jakarta MRT stations do not have parking lots or parks and ride areas. So what is the reason why many Jakarta MRTs do not have parking lots?

This is done to encourage the use of public transportation. Tuhiyat said, if there is a parking zone at each MRT Station in the middle of Jakarta, it will increase the flow of private vehicles into the middle of the city. As a result, traffic jams are also waiting.

"I often tell the government, never build parks and rides in the middle of the city. Why? If there are parks and rides in the middle of the city, then if someone enters, private vehicles enter Jakarta which will cause public transportation to jam," he explained, at the inauguration event at Senayan Mastercard Station, the station, Monday 18 December.

This situation has the potential to make urban public transportation function less than optimal. Therefore, Tuhiyat said, his group will build parks and rides at the end of the stations. One of them is Lebak Bulus Grab Station.

"Build a park and ride at the end and at the end. Therefore, MRT Jakarta is still building in Lebak Bulus," he said.

Tuhiyat said, currently the process of building a park and ride at Lebak Bulus Grab Station is still ongoing. The hope is that the construction can be completed quickly.

"We pray that hopefully it can be fast, it is the largest park and ride. Later we will build it at the end again so that residents can use MRT, LRT, Trans Jakarta transportation, airport trains, KRL, and so on. That is mandate number 2 (from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government). We were told to operate and maintain the MRT station," he said.

Parallel with this development, also continues to be encouraged by the construction of pedestrian crossings such as pedestrian bridges (JPOs). Not only that, but also continued to grow transit-oriented areas (Transit Oriented Development/TOD).

"In the future, we will build and fix the Trans Jakarta Bus Station in Blok M. So that later it will be connected to Peruri and ASEAN. Entering Istora Senayan, as well as Dukuh Atas, we will build a bridge connecting the Jabodebek LRT which is currently being formed towards KRL, as well as MRT and Trans Jakarta," he said.

"So pedestrianization in Blora, we prohibit vehicles and we encourage green there. Let what? Let us residents, be seamless in carrying out journeys from one mode to another and from one mode with building. So seamless. This is a special effort mandate number 3," he continued.

On the other hand, MRT Jakarta continues to urge the development of transportation infrastructure in Jakarta. Tuhiyat said, in the last 1.5 years the group has spent up to IDR 1.5 trillion.

"Hopefully we can give Jakarta a better face, especially we will be faced with Jakarta being the global city in the world. Because our plan is that the capital city will be moved out. But Jakarta remains a big city and a global city, so this coincides with the discussion of the law. closest to the Special Region of Jakarta," he concluded.

Although many have 'Asked MRT Jakarta to add Park and Ride', I hope you can understand the reason.
