JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives from the Gerindra Party faction, Fadli Zon, supports DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan regarding the existence of permanent bicycle lanes.
Fadli Zon assesses that the permanent bicycle lane on Jalan Sudirman-Thamrin Jakarta does not need to be dismantled. Fadli said this in response to the proposed demolition of the bicycle lane.
"I think the special bicycle lanes in Jakarta are good, don't dismantle them", said Fadli Zon on his Twitter account @fadlizon, Friday, June 18.
The chairman of the House of Representatives Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Agency (DPR BKSAP) said the bicycle lane is an infrastructure for healthy living. In fact, he said, many countries have implemented special lanes for cyclists.
"Both as alternative transportation and sports", said Fadli again.

Previously, Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) Ahmad Sahroni asked the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit to review the permanent bicycle lane on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman-MH Thamrin that was created by the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.
"Please Mr. Chief of Police to evaluate the permanent bicycle path that already exists in Sudirman-Thamrin", said Sahroni, during a working meeting of Commission III of the DPR RI with the National Police at the Parliament Building, Senayan, Wednesday, June 16.
In fact, Sahroni suggested that the permanent bicycle lane with a program cost of IDR 30 billion be dismantled. Because, apart from being prone to accidents, the permanent lane makes it difficult for other vehicles if the traffic is heavy.
"Please, to the National Police Chief and his staff, especially the Indonesian National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas) here to address the permanent route to be reviewed. If necessary, it should be dismantled and all road users can use the road", he said.
In addition, Sahroni also asked the National Police Chief to ensure that there are no more issues of discrimination between cyclists. This refers to the trial of special bicycle lanes for road bikes on the Non-toll Flyover (JLNT) Kampung Melayu-Tanah Abang and Sudirman-Thamrin.
