Central Jakarta Head Of Central Jakarta Satpol PP Please Respond To WA: Road Users Ask, 'How Come' Traders In Tanah Abang Can Turn A Bus Stop Into Clothing Fields

Street vendors (PKL) in the Tanah Abang Market area are increasingly not well organized. Although the Central Jakarta City Satpol PP routinely conducts patrols, the presence of street vendors arbitrarily participates in public facilities such as bus stops for clothing selling places.

From the results of VOI's search, one of the bus stops where the public transport passengers in the Tanah Abang Market area were used as a stall for selling by street vendors. The bus stop, which is actually a place to stop public transportation in the Tanah Abang Market area, has now changed its function.

"What about the supervision of Satpol PP, how come there is a bus stop in the Tanah Abang Market area which has changed its function to a place to sell?," asked Tasya (39), one of the visitors who passed the Tanah Abang Market area, Thursday, October 12.

Based on journalists' observation, the bus stop on Jalan Kebon Jati, Tanah Abang Market, was used as a place to hang a number of merchandise clothes by street vendors. There are even traders who sell in the bus stop.

"How come the bus stop is a place to sell clothes? It's like a shop. How come there's no action?" he complained.

Meanwhile, public transport passengers who want to ride must stand on the shoulder of the road. Meanwhile, public transportation seeking and dropping passengers also stops at any place.

Deputy Mayor of Central Jakarta Chaidir said that the phenomenon was the domain and task of the Satpol PP's authority to bring order and supervision.

"That asked the Satpol PP," he briefly confirmed when confirmed by VOI, Thursday, October 12.

Meanwhile, the Head of Central Jakarta Satpol PP, Tumbur Parluhutan Purba, has not responded when confirmed by VOI via WhatsApp (WA) message.
