JAKARTA - The DKI Provincial Government understands that the parking lot at the Cathedral Church on Christmas holidays is not sufficient to accommodate all congregation. For this reason, the Provincial Government has taken another way by preparing a free shuttle bus for DKI residents who will celebrate Christmas Mass at the Cathedral Church, Central Jakarta.

This free fleet is valid from 24-25 December 2019. As many as six units of low-footed Metrotrans buses will go back and forth to pick up and take residents to the Cathedral Church.

This free Metrotrans bus will only stop in front of the IRTI parking lot gate, Monas. The passenger capacity that can be accommodated is up to 60 people each way.

"We provide a low entry fleet so that it can transport passengers who have special needs (disable friendly)," said Public Relations of PT Transportation Jakarta, Nadia Diposanjoyo, to reporters, Tuesday, December 24.

This, he said, would make it easier for the companion family to be able to stay together in one vehicle to the Church and return to the car park location.

Nadia said that residents who bring their families by vehicle can park their vehicles in the IRTI Monas field, which is opposite the National Library Building.

"After parking, residents can take a free TJ fleet from the front of the IRTI to the Cathedral with a departure time interval of every five minutes," he said.

He also hopes that this Transjakarta service will make it easier for residents to worship to celebrate Christmas, without worrying about car parking.

"Of course, this is a momentum for Transjakarta to participate in providing added value as well as to enliven the big day at the end of 2019", said Nadia.

Furthermore, residents who want to go to the Cathedral Church can leave their vehicle at home by using Transjakarta Corridor 2 (Pulogadung-Harmoni), 2A (Kalideres-Pulogadung), 2D (Rawabuaya-ASMI), 3 (Kalideres-Pasar Baru), 5C (PGC-Harmoni), 5H (Harmoni-Ancol), 7F (Kampung Rambutan-Harmoni via Cempaka Putih), 8A (Grogol-Juanda) and 12M (Sunter Boulevard Barat-Harmoni).
