T
he authorities have been readying the capital city’s major transportation hub Dukuh Atas in South Jakarta as the MRT will soon be serving residents.
Dukuh Atas has been designated as the main transit point for passengers of six transportation modes namely the MRT, commuter line, airport train Railink, Transjakarta bus service and the future Light Rapid Transit (LRT) services of LRT Jakarta and LRT Jabodebek.
The former duku (lanzone) plantation will be the face of transportation integration in Jakarta marked with the operation of the Jakarta MRT, which is scheduled to begin running by the end of this month.
The operators of the services: PT MRT Jakarta, PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia which operates the commuter line, PT Transportasi Jakarta (Transjakarta), PT Railink along with the Jakarta Transportation Agency have forged cooperation to ensure smooth integration for passengers transiting in the hub.
“I hope we can smoothly manage the expected high number of passengers in the area. The first important thing is that we pedestrianize Jl. Kendal,” Silvia said on Thursday.
Jl. Kendal in Menteng, Central Jakarta is where Dukuh Atas MRT station is located.
