The operation focused on the 9.4-kilometer dedicated Transjakarta Corridor 13 flyover, spanning from the Rawa Barat Bus Stop to the JORR Bus Stop.

Jakarta Data and Information Center Head, Siti Dinarwenny stated that this initiative follows up on the #JagaJakartaBersih cleanup campaign held on February 8, as directed by Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung.

Personnel worked hand-in-hand to clear the corridor of debris and materials that could obstruct traffic or clog drainage systems.

“Our primary focus is maintaining lane cleanliness and ensuring that storm drains and catch basins are in peak condition and free of blockages,” she expressed, Tuesday (2/17).

Wenny explained that clear drainage is key to preventing water pooling, especially during heavy downpours. She noted that stagnant water can compromise road integrity and jeopardize the safety and comfort of public transport users, particularly Transjakarta passengers.

Besides cleaning the drains, the agency also repairs potholes along the route. Wenny emphasized that swift repairs are crucial to preventing further damage and ensuring a smooth journey for buses traveling through Corridor 13.

“We're optimistic about our ability to continuously improve the quality of public service,” she concluded.
