JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV Transportation observer Djoko Setijowarno said travelers at Merak Harbor, Cilegon City, Banten, prefer to cross at night for safety reasons, wrong the other is afraid of robbery.
In this regard, Djoko asked the government to ensure security for travelers to queue up and overcrowding at Merak Harbor at peak times commuting can be decomposed.
Now, the government needs to guarantee security in the Lampung area and this has been happening for years. I guess if its safety happens they will also not be able to travel at night, said Djoko Setijowarno in the Sapa Indonesia Morning Akhir dialogue program KOMPAS TV Week, Sunday (24/4/2022).
Security guarantees, said Djoko, are considered more effective than just give discounts on crossing tickets other than at night to travelers travelers.
Even though it has been attempted from the ASDP, for example, if you buy a ticket other than the night, there is a 20 percent discount, it doesnt matter he said. Because security is more important than cheap tickets, obviously Djoko based on his observations in Sumatra some time ago.
Furthermore, Djoko who is the Head of Advocacy and Society The Indonesian Transportation Society (MTI) explains the guarantee security in question is in a broad sense.
Among them, such as, the safety of travelers from street crimes such as robbery to the matter of street lighting.
Security in a broad sense, meaning they are afraid of being robbed or etc. besides street lighting is important. The important one safety and security on him and thats what he had to do years until now, he explained.
According to him, if then the guarantee can be felt by travelers, it is very possible the density before Eid can be parsed. Besides by asking travelers to leave long before the peak of the current going home.
