JAKARTA - PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk urges visitors who want to celebrate New Year's Eve 2023 in Ancol to use public transportation. The appeal regarding the capacity of private vehicle parking bags at the recreational park in Pademangan, North Jakarta is limited.

"We urge visitors to use public transportation because parking spaces can only accommodate up to 6,281 cars and also motorcycle parking bags as many as 17,350 motorbikes," said Ancol Dreamland Park VP Ferdinand Gultom in North Jakarta, Friday, December 23, confiscated by Antara.

Especially on New Year's Eve, the Ancol area will be closed after completion of the fireworks display at 01.00 WIB in the morning, Sunday 1 January 2023.

Ferdinand also appealed to visitors who come on New Year's Eve 2023 not to forget to buy tickets online or online via the website www.ancol.com before heading to Ancol Dreamland.

The appeal was conveyed in order to prevent vehicle congestion towards the Ancol Dreamland Park area, especially what often occurs on the road in front of the main gate.

Visitors with public transportation can take advantage of the Wara-Wiri Bus which is provided per day as many as 63 units and three series of Sato-Sato Trains for free.

Internal general transportation in the Ancol area, the Wara-Wiri Bus will stop at each shelter and is quite representative in terms of distance and travel time to the recreation unit that visitors want.

"We have calculated that there will be no delays or queues that are too long towards each Wara-Wiri Bus shelter. As for the Sato-Sato Train, this can be at the same time as recreation besides being a transportation. Because usually children like to ride around Ancol," he said.

For visitors who continue to carry private vehicles, Ancol management appealed not to worry about following the direction of operational officers who will regulate the parking location of vehicles in the parking pockets that have been provided.

"They already know where the parking pockets are. If it is felt too far from the recreation unit that they want to visit, they will be able to take the Wara-Wiri Bus," he said.

Security of the Ancol area will be tightened with additional joint security personnel consisting of the police, TNI, Satpol PP, Dishub, Health Office and Firefighters as many as 625 personnel.

This addition will complement Ancol's operational officers as many as 278 personnel.

Ancol management has also prepared six P3K post points, six police post points within the Ancol area, eight coast guard posts along the coast and five Covid-19 Task Force post points to ensure the safety of visitors during the year-end holiday period.

"We also alerted three ambulance units during an emergency (emergency), in addition to the first aid post," he said.
