"Public can use Transjakarta and MRT for free up to September 8," he added.
About 22 Transjakarta bus stops and one MRT station were affected by the demonstrations. One of the infrastructure facilities that suffered severe damage was the Senen bus stop.
Furthermore, Pramono expressed his appreciation for the collaborative efforts between the government and the community. The community's involvement in repairing damaged facilities demonstrates that all parties are working together to protect Jakarta.
"I'm grateful that in Jakarta, mutual cooperation has resurfaced and is incredibly strong. Something I never imagined, neighborhood associations (RT/RW) have emerged, community leaders have gathered, and they've declared their commitment to protecting their neighborhoods," he explained.
