JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan posted a portrait of himself leaving for DKI City Hall using the Jakarta Integrated Mode (MRT). Wearing his official uniform, he sat with other MRT passengers.

Photos of Anies being an MRT passenger have been uploaded to his Instagram account and his Facebook account.

"This morning I left for work on the Ratangga (MRT train)", wrote Anies on his Instagram, Wednesday, March 17.

Anies explained that the MRT has implemented a strict health protocol since entering the station area. All passengers are also measured for temperature and must wear masks properly.

"While inside the Ratangga, it is forbidden to chat or talk on the phone", he said.

He said the capacity of Ratangga before imposing strict health protocols was 144-158 both seated and standing passengers, after the strict health protocol is applied, the capacity was reduced to only 62-67 people in 1 train.

"The reduction in the number aims to enable passengers to keep their distance from each other while on the train", he said.

Furthermore, Anies shared his experience on the MRT. According to Anies, the advantage of traveling using the MRT is that it is free of traffic jams so that he has more time before he reaches City Hall.

He then got off at Dukuh Atas Station and met the Mayor of Central Jakarta, Dhany Sukma, while inspecting several surrounding public facilities.

"Friends, do you often get on/off the MRT from Dukuh Atas? What are the delicious snacks around here?", said Anies.

Anies' post received various responses from netizens. Some of them recommend food stalls that are worth a visit. In addition, there were also netizens, who were also MRT passengers, expressing their desire to meet Anies.

"I really want to meet you, sir", said @sutrisnoanisa62.

"How do you feel sitting next to me, sir @aniesbaswedan at @mrtjkt", @shatyatovian

"Tomorrow I want to take the MRT so we can meet Mr. Anies", wrote @evihidaynis.
