He explained that Bekasi and Jakarta city areas were neighbors that had integration in almost all sectors, including the economy, social society and transportation.

Nevertheless the division of government administrative authority, which makes some areas in West Java, some areas were in Jakarta.

"But for citizens, all have the right to get the same and equal services. This is a spirit that underlies why we see that each of us has a responsibility and partnering to ensure that citizens get the best," he explained.

He committed that his party would fully support development projects that have broad implications for Bekasi citizens, especially those who also have activities in Jakarta, such as work or school.

Hopefully the new flyovers could provide benefits to the wider community, either people in or outside Bekasi who come to Jakarta.

"Through this collaboration, there are many things we can do. We feel thankful that the Mayor also communicates intensely. We see more than just relations between two regions, but relations between two communities, relations between state administrators in their respective regions," he explained.

Bekasi Mayor Rahmat Effendi added that the two flyovers would be listed as assets belonging to the West Java Provincial Government.

He hoped that this cooperation could be developed to overcome transportation issues and the mobility of citizens between the two regions.

"On behalf of Bekasi people, we sincerely thank the Governor for giving access. If there are 19 jam spots, two of them will be resolved, means there are 17 jam spots that we must continue to make improvements," he said.
