JAKARTA - National Police Headquarters Inspector General Istiono hopes that the mobility of commuter Line (KRL) users or electric rail trains can decrease during the implementation of emergency community activity restrictions (PPKM).

Kakorlantas Istiono conveyed this when reviewing the readiness of the Tanah Abang Station in the context of enacting the Circular Letter (SE) of the Minister of Transportation No. 49 of 2021 and SE of the Minister of Transportation No. 50 of 2021.

"Today, I am with the Director General of Land Transportation, the Director General of Indonesian Railways (KAI), the Director of KAI for Tanah Abang Station, to see the preparations for the implementation of the circular letter, which will be effective starting July 12, 2021," said Istiono, quoted by Antara, Friday, July 9th.

SE Minister of Transportation Number 49 of 2021 concerning Amendments to SE Number 43 of 2021 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Domestic Travel by Land Transportation During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

SE Minister of Transportation Number 50 of 2021 concerning Amendments to SE Number 42 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Domestic Travel by Rail Transportation During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

"Starting Monday, July 12, 2020, KRL users must include a worker registration document (STRP) or a certificate issued by the regional government," said Istiono.

Istiono said the application of this new provision was specifically for people who wanted to travel in urban agglomeration areas during the Java-Bali emergency PPKM.

Istiono hopes that with the issuance of the SE 50 and the STRP requirements, it can reduce community mobility during the implementation of emergency PPKM. In addition, Kakorlantas asked the local police to disseminate this policy to the public.

"The STRB requirements must be carried by passengers who are agglomeration of the Jakarta, Bogor and Tangerang areas to Banten. Hopefully the passengers will be reduced to those required, and of course later they will coordinate with the local police to carry out socialization," said Istiono.

Istiono also appealed to people who have no interest in staying at home during the emergency PPKM to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Meanwhile, people who will be active are expected to obey the regulations and policies issued by the government.

"So, I hope that people who are interested starting Monday from Bogor, Depok, Bekasi and Tangerang will obey and obey the rules that are applied. So that community participation is the key to success in tackling the spread of COVID-19," Istiono hoped.
