The first is pedestrians must be well facilitated. "The second is eco-friendly vehicles such as bicycle and electric motor," disclosed Jakarta Transportation Agency Head, Syafrin Liputo, Tuesday (8/25).

The third is the optimization of public transportation structuring and the last is the limitation of private vehicles.

"Sooner or later, all pedestrian lane structuring will lead to the public transport network thus pedestrian facilities toward pubic transport stops will be added again," he explained.

"Through socialization, we will announce it to the public. Physically our sidewalk is developed to the public transport stops," he said.
