Jakarta (B2B) - "Memangnya warga biasa tidak boleh naik bus lewat Pondok Indah? Memangnya penumpang bus nggak boleh main ke Pondok Indah Mall. Kamu kira gampang pindah-pindahin. Bayar kajian lagi terus pasang halte," kata Wakil Gubernur DKI Jakarta, Basuki Tjahja Purnomo atau Ahok kepada pers di Balaikota Jakarta, Selasa (4/6).
Komentar keras itu dilontarkan mantan anggota DPR periode 2009-2014 menjawab tuntutan sejumlah warga Pondok Indah, Jakarta Selatan. Mereka tergabung dalam Panca RW, yang meminta agar Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta memindahkan jalur bus Transjakarta dari Jalan Metro Pondok Indah ke Pondok Pinang, karena mempersempit jalan dan memicu kemacetan.
Menurut Ahok, permintaan warga Pondok Indah sulit dipenuhi, karena berdasarkan kajian jalan di Pondok Pinang lebih sempit ketimbang jalan di Pondok Indah.
Ahok menambahkan, penolakan tersebut sama dengan tuntutan serupa dari warga Pluit, Jakarta Utara yang menolak keberadaan bus Transjakarta di lingkungan tempat tinggal mereka, dalihnya bikin macet.
"Konsepnya kan memang begitu, supaya orang-orang yang tinggal di perumahan itu mau beralih ke bus Transjakarta daripada memakai kendaraan pribadi," kata Ahok.
Ahok menambahkan, kehadiran bus Transjakarta di kawasan Pondok Indah akan memberikan kemudahan bagi warga untuk mengakses angkutan umum, dan seharusnya mereka memanfaatkannya bukan malah ingin menyingkirkan bus Transjakarta.
"Penyebab kemacetan di situ karena mobil pribadi terlalu banyak. Itu saja, bukan karena Transjakarta," ungkap Ahok.
Jakarta (B2B) - "Do ordinary citizens should not be riding the bus through Pondok Indah? Passenger bus forbidden to Pondok Indah Mall? You think it´s easy to move it," said Vice Governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahja or Ahok Purnomo told reporters at City Hall on Tuesday (4/6).
Harsh comments that said the former member of Parliament in the period 2009-2014 to answer the demands of some residents Pondok Indah, South Jakarta. They joined in Panca RW, which requested that Provincial Government DKI Jakarta move the bus lane Transjakarta of Jalan Metro Pondok Indah into Pondok Pinang, because narrow the roads and trigger congestion.
According Ahok, Pondok Indah residents demand difficult to meet, because it is based on studies in Pondok Pinang road is narrower than the road in Pondok Indah.
Ahok added, similar to the rejection of similar claims from citizens of Pluit, North Jakarta who deny the existence of TransJakarta bus in their neighborhood, they argue make traffic jams.
"The concept is so right, so that the people who live in housing that would switch to the TransJakarta bus instead of using personal vehicles," said Ahok.
Ahok added, the presence of TransJakarta bus in the area of ��Pondok Indah will provide convenience for citizens to access public transport, and they should use it rather than want to get rid of TransJakarta bus.
"The cause of traffic jams because there are too many private cars. That´s all, not because of TransJakarta," said Ahok.
