Bekasi bus station is still not good
Before, Bekasi bus station’s infrastructure is not good to see because it seems look as traditional market which is marked by many garbage that mass at the street, lack of clean, disorderliness, and etc. yet during the early, 2006 Bekasi Bus station’s infrastructures has been renovated to be good but right now Bekasi bus station is still not good.
In this period Bekasi’s government has conducted one of the greatest agenda that attend in every a year. This greatest agenda is called by Adipura award that begin on January and end on September 2010 many public facilities after hearing this announcement were enthusiastic and compete by each other such as broad way, market, and Bus station. For instant Bekasi bus station in that place has already step forward which is from the side of infrastructure has been renovated to be good for instant almost along the road has refined from the hall, office itself has painted to be fresh that nice to see, waiting room for passenger has already exist, and from side of cleaning is neatly from the rubbish may be this is as one of the matter to get Adipura award.
But Bekasi bus station is still not good the first reason good terminal is not only concern and focus the one subject and ignoring other subject that more significant especially do not only focus at physical infrastructure without giving more attention to the condition at the square. Mean that is technical at the square and also other aspect at it that lack of attention from the manager of Bekasi bus station for example in arrangement departure line at bus station in which the bus will leave the terminal is lack of orderliness in departure of traffic line the effect from the lack of orderliness is accumulation of the vehicle in traffic line. Finally traffic jump can’t be avoided and adding with the space of the traffic line in bus station is narrow which the traffic line has certain capacity.
Beside that when the bus will go out from the terminal to the road way encounter with small vehicle transportation which is waiting for passengers that caused traffic jump long that way for two times. On the other word it’s mean that untidy state at Bekasi bus station still not as good as infrastructure. From the testimony to the one of passenger’s opinion said that “it ‘is too bad. Good infrastructure not support with good condition in the yard even though from side of infrastructure is good but the orderliness of traffic line still bad”. It is proved by those problem that mention at the above
Few days ago I have interview to the coordinator of terminal bus station in Bekasi that has related with that problem. Here this is the question that I gave to him “Sir why the traffic jam at the departure of traffic line happen whereas the bus should sent their passengers on time. If in the beginning at the departure has got stuck?” the answer “it’s happen because of small vehicle transportation wait for passengers for long time to carry them and during stay at there the condition become more disorder. “Is there any firmness and warning to the driver itself” I said. Yes there is. He said.
If there is firmness and warning why it should be happen….??? And in reality quiet opposite base on my observation I saw the official at that location only standing in the bank of the way without concern or gives firmness to the driver who exist at the traffic line that cause traffic jam happen and only focus to the bus mean that he only blow his whistle and move his hand just for formalities more over on the morning and afternoon and sure its worst when on holiday came. Whereas at that time many vehicles are staying at that place which no concern to the orderliness while the officer only silent.
If there is no hard admonition and punishment for them the driver will still stay at their world and feel freedom. In the other hand the five sign where the vehicle forbidden to stop and park at bank of the street has been already posed at the bank of the street and every one can see it clearly. In fact it does not work well and always ignore those low finally those signal only faction as the view at edge of the street. Actually the office has strong power to uphold the low especially in discipline the vehicle that stop at any discriminate place that not at the right place if its work well it will be more conducive.
That condition also is added by the wide of Bekasi terminal’s land that does not fill up the requirements the terminal standardization. The wide of the area itself only 1, 5 hectare but the requirement should be more than it around 5 hectare so that its need to add the wide of the land around 3.6 hectare. With only has 1, 5 hectare Bekasi bus station is not enough and cannot hold the bus more than exceeds capacity occur at that area and impact to the neatly of placing the bus become disorderliness finally the vehicles stacking at it and look untidy condition because the terminal only can hold the bus less than 1500 bus. Ideal terminal that will be categorize as type A should has several requirements and Bekasi bus station has already have several requirements such as departure line for bus, arrival line for bus, parking area for vehicle during wait for departure also including waiting and resting room for vehicle, office, controller (place still in process), board information that consists less than guideline of direction, cost, table time still in process waiting for budget fund from the government said the coordinator of the terminal, and etc. those requirement taking from the website ( maghfirohhttp://bataviase.co.id/detaolberita-10447727.html and http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/terminal_bus )
At Bekasi bus station can be found the irregular motor cycle at the edge of the street especially motorcycle taxi that wait the passengers and ready to pick them up. Up to the arrival lane for bus fill up with motor cycle whereas that lane so narrow which is the lane capacity only for one bus and finally it is not work well. That scene makes Bekasi bus station become more untidy condition and became bad view in every day at the terminal caused by terminal still does not have special parking area for motor cycle taxi also lack of the hard firmness and warning from the officer to the rider it is proved by when one of the bus come to the terminal and suddenly motorcycle taxi approach the bus to pick the passengers up without consider the neatness at that area and this case also make the passengers feel not comfortable.
Lastly good terminal is not only concern and focus to the one subject and ignoring other subject that more significant especially do not only focus at physical infrastructure without giving more attention to the condition at the square. Mean that is technical at the square and also other aspect at it that lack of attention from the manager of Bekasi bus station and the government should not give more attention about the contest of Adipura award until forget other factors that can support the good infrastructure. The officer at Bekasi bus station should enforce the low and give punishment to the person who breaks the low in order more directional in every rule.
