JAKARTA - A number of regulations for MRT passengers will be enforced in the new normal (The New Normal). One of them, passengers are prohibited from chatting in the carriage. Including making conversations over the telephone connection.

As informed in the MRT Instagram account, Monday, June 1, all passengers are required to comply with this rule. Moreover, as we know, COVID-19 can generally be transmitted through droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks.

"Passengers are advised not to have conversations, either directly with other passengers or indirectly via cell phones," MRT wrote on his Instagram account.

PT MRT Jakarta (Perseroda) will also introduce the #JAKARTABANGKIT campaign to encourage the implementation of a culture of Clean, Safe, Comfortable, Green, Collaboration, Innovation, and Good Governance. This concept is a new health protocol that the MRT will implement.

"Clean means a matter of hygiene. In public transportation, for example, a train that is cleaned three times a day then prepares hand sanitizer at each station," explained PT MRT Jakarta President Director William Sabandar.

"Safe means preparing body temperature tests and continuous education at stations and trains. Comfort is the most important thing because it ensures social distancing. Service users must feel that they will not be exposed to the COVID-19 virus when using the Jakarta MRT," he added. .

"Each train is filled with a maximum of 60 people and we will prepare markers at the stations and on the trains how to queue," he said.
