As compensation for the policy, said Anies, the government provides free transportation, using Transjakarta bus, to people who will watch the Asian Games activities.
With the free transportation, the society is expected to park private vehicles in certain areas. They can continue the journey to the venue using Transjakarta.
Currently, the government has not yet determined the arena where the free transport is provided. However, Anies said his office is preparing two points, namely the outskirts of Jakarta and around the venue.
"Hopefully, the area can be announced before Eid day," said Anies.
Meanwhile, Anies Baswedan said the Asian Games volunteer and media crew can get on the Transjakarta for free by registering themselves first.
