According to Slamet, strict action is conducted because those vehicles parked illegally and caused traffic congestion. Due to many public transports getting dossier, he suggested for the north gate of Beos Station to only be used as entrance, while the exit us directed to underground bridge. Thus, public transports would only pick up and drop off passengers on the south lane.

If all gates were merged at the south, we can monitor and control those public transports considering the south lane is wider,” he uttered.
