JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has prepared 17 parking locations around the National Monimen (Monas) area for use by the community who will attend the 212 Reunion today, Tuesday, December 2. This preparation is carried out to anticipate a surge in vehicles.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, said that the total available parking capacity reached 10,794 Parking Room Units (SRP). This number consists of 5,401 SRP of motorcycles and 5,393 SRP of cars.

"The parking location consists of off-street and on-street parking," said Syafrin in his statement, Tuesday, December 2.

Here are 17 parking locations provided by the DKI Provincial Government: 1. IRTI Monas Parking Center2. Gambir Station3. Wisma Antara4. Reksa Fund Tower5. Ministry of SOEs6. Telkom STO Gambir Building7. National Library 8. Lemhanas9. Indosat Ooredoo Office10. National Gallery 11. TPE Sabang12. Sarinah Building13. Djakarta Theater Building14. Jaya Building15. Wahid Hasyim16. Plaza Indonesia17. Grand Indonesia

In addition to parking, Syafrin also ensures that public transportation services continue to run. Transjakarta operates as usual, but adjustments to traffic engineering are still carried out following the situation on the ground.

Syafrin appealed to people who will use long-distance public transportation to arrange travel times, especially train passengers who will go to Gambir Station.

"For long-distance train users who will go to Gambir Station so that they can adjust their travel time," said Syafrin.

Syafrin also asked motorists to avoid the area around Monas during the activity. Traffic engineering will be implemented situationally, adjusting the flow of vehicles and the capacity of roads around the location.

"Road users are advised to avoid these roads and be able to adjust the traffic arrangements set, obey traffic signs, instructions from officers in the field and prioritize road safety," he added.

The 212 Reunion activity is planned to take place from 18.00 WIB until the evening. However, mass mobilization is expected to start in the afternoon.

Dirlantas Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Komaruddin said that his party predicts the density of vehicle flows on Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Timur, North, and South, especially in the afternoon which coincides with office hours.

"We urge people who are active in Jakarta to avoid these sections," he told the media at Polda Metro Jaya, Monday, December 1.

The flow diversion will be carried out situationally. If mass mobilization is large enough, the diversion will be enforced earlier. On the other hand, however, if field conditions are still possible, the route remains open to the general public.

"Given the implementation of the afternoon, of course at the same time as the office's return time, this also needs to be anticipated," he said.
