We reduced the parking lot for cars, thus the land could accommodate 5,000 motorcycles,” uttered IRTI Monas Parking Lot Coordinator for Jakarta Transportation Department Parking Technical Management Unit (UPT), Mulyadi.

Although the amount of motorcycles parked at IRTI Monas field increases significantly, Mulyadi told that his party does not raise the parking tariff. Each motorcycle is charged for Rp 1,000 per hour without time limit.
