JAKARTA - The capacity for spectators at the Jakarta International Stadium can reach 82 thousand seats. But interestingly, JIS only has less than 600 parking spaces for cars. How come?

DKI Governor Anies Baswedan admitted that the concept of the Jakarta International Stadium was made that way. In fact, Anies suggested, if there is an event at the Jakarta International Stadium, it is better to come by public transportation. So after getting off the mass transportation, the audience will walk to the stadium.

"Coming to JIS is not a private vehicle," said Anies through his personal YouTube channel, Monday, March 28.

JIS will prepare integrated transportation. This area will be crossed by TransJ, LRT to KRL.

"This concept is a modern city, its citizens come to the stadium by public transportation," Anies continued.

Anies said, since the beginning of the construction of the JIS, the impact on the community around the area has also been taken into account. He explained that on the east side of the stadium, there is a Ring Reservoir, which will also be built later and an area will be prepared for the construction of office towers and residential towers.

While the village which is next to the railroad tracks is adjacent to the stadium area, Anies said that currently, they are preparing flats for them to live in.

He said that more than 130 units would be prepared and available units for people with disabilities with the concept of urban agriculture because some of the residents' livelihoods are farming so that they can still carry out their activities.

"Now it's in the process of being built and later they will return to live there. It is hoped that they will be able to find jobs and be involved in the process of improving welfare through activities in JIS," he said.
