JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency appealed to people who want to go to the Jakarta Grand Week (PRJ) or Jakarta Fair at JIExpo, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, to use public transportation to reduce congestion in the area.

"Of course we urge the public to continue using public transportation," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) Syafrin Liputo, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, June 30.

People who want to go to PRJ can use the Commuter Line KRL (Electric Railroad) go down in Kemayoran. "Then there has been prepared a'shuttle ma' (pickup bus)," he said.

According to Syafrin, visits to PRJ are increasingly on holiday with Eid al-Adha 1444 Hijriah and long weekend holidays.

Syafrin said that the traffic jam had been quite long since Tuesday (27/6) when visitor vehicles filled the queue to enter the PRJ parking lot.

"Any traffic congestion or traffic jam occurred in the Benjamin Sueb Street area, then on Jalan Angkasa and the surrounding roads," said Syafrin.

The DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency continues to monitor the massive number of people using private vehicles, causing congestion in the PRJ area in the last few days.

"Actually, there has been a parking lot prepared, but because at the same time people enter so there is a density," said Syafrin.

The Provincial Government (Pemrov) of DKI Jakarta has prepared three TransJakarta routes to PRJ, Kemayoran.

Namely route 2C (City Hall-JIExpo), PRJ1 route (PGC 1-JIExpo Kemayoran), PRJ2 route (New Image-JIExpo Kemayoran) and PRJ3 route (Pulo Gadung 1-JIExpo Kemayoran).

The TransJakarta special PRJ bus route serves customers during activities from June 14 to July 16, 2023.

The operation time for this bus starts Monday to Friday at 15.00 WIB-23.00 WIB and Saturday-Sunday starting at 09.00 WIB-24.00 WIB.
