3. Bendungan Hilir MRT Station and BNI Dukuh Atas MRT Station as an alternative to Setiabudi Astra MRT Station
"We do this to limit people's mobility, especially in Jakarta, which is expected to curb the spread of Covid-19," expressed MRT Jakarta's Corporate Secretary Division Acting Head, Ahmad Pratomo, Sunday (7/18).
He explained, it had been passed through a long discussion together with the Transportation Agency (Dishub) which previously considered various things, including the low density of the station, not being a large station, and the location of the station not being close to health care facilities.
"The company has implemented several operational service policy adjustments related to PPKM Darurat including the application of a worker registration certificate (STRP) as a requirement for travelers, changes in operational schedules, and strict enforcement of health protocols at MRT stations," he stated.
