The Ombudsman Representative for West Sumatra (West Sumatra) reminded the Padang City Government, especially Padang Sejahtera Mandiri Regional Company and TransPadang operators to immediately seek solutions related to the dismissal of four TransPadang corridors.
"TransPadang is a public service so that the termination of the four corridors must immediately find a solution so as not to disturb the community," said Acting (Pjs) Ombudsman Representative of West Sumatra Meilisa Fitri Harahap in Padang, Saturday.
The four transPadang corridors that were temporarily closed were Corridor 2 Central City-Bungus Teluk Kabung, Corridor 3 Central City-Pemerintahan, Corridor 5 Central City-Indarung, and Corridor 6 which connects the Padang City-Politechnic Center.
Meilisa said that by stopping the four TransPadang corridors, it would have a direct impact on the community, including students or students who have been using public transportation as well as state civil servants or workers in the private sector who routinely use subsidized transportation.
"This transportation service must not be stopped. Therefore, related parties must immediately find a solution, especially since the new school year has started," he said.
As a state institution tasked with supervising public services, the West Sumatra Ombudsman will immediately schedule summons to related parties, especially the Padang Sejahtera Mandiri Regional Company and the TransPadang operator to find the best solution.
According to him, for the time being, if the Padang City Transportation Service has an operational vehicle (bus), it can be used to transport students who have been using TransPadang.
"So, at least public services should run first so as not to interfere with community activities, especially students," he said.
Meanwhile, a resident of Padang City, Delfi Neski, regretted the closure of the four TransPadang corridors because it could disrupt community activities.
"I hope that the closure of the four TransPadang corridors will not drag on because many residents will be affected," said Delfi.
