Highlights Citayam Residents Hanging Out In Sudirman Area, Deputy Governor Of DKI: Jakarta Is The City Of Everyone

JAKARTA - The Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta highlighted the phenomenon that residents of Citayam, Bogor, invaded the General Sudirman area. Mainly in the area of BNI City Airport Station and Dukuh Atas MRT Station, Central Jakarta.

Riza views that the use of the Sudirman area as a hangout place for residents of the Jakarta buffer zone occurs because of the easy access to transportation to this public space.

This is because at this location there is an integration of several modes such as KRL, MRT, and Transjakarta which are connected by the Kendal Tunnel.

"Indeed, due to school holidays, the children from Citayam come to Jakarta by train. That's a direct train to Dukuh Atas", said Riza at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Monday, July 4.

Riza also appreciated the young people from Citayam to Bojonggede who gathered and had recreation in the Sudirman area. This, he continued, is a sign that Jakarta is an inclusive city for all citizens.

"Of course, we appreciate it. The city of Jakarta belongs to all, not only Jakartans, but all Indonesians, anyone can come to Jakarta", he said.

However, Riza asked the public to maintain cleanliness. This is because several residents who invade the Sudirman area often leave food and drink waste.

"We invite all residents, not only residents of Jakarta but residents outside Jakarta to take care and maintain cleanliness", said Riza.

"We have prepared officers patrolling there, ensuring that the points visited by residents, not only Citayam residents but also others, are kept clean", he added.

This location has also become one of the most popular hangouts in the capital, including for teenagers from outside Jakarta, such as residents of Depok and Citayam.

Recently, the Sudirman area has been in the spotlight. Young people from outside Jakarta such as Depok, Bogor, and Bekasi make this location their gathering place.

Not a few of the teenagers took pictures to create video content on their respective social media. They also maximize their appearance by preening and various styles of clothing.
