Thus, the President highlighted that by increasing the number of buses, the perception of the terminal being unsafe would diminish, promoting greater community mobility.
He emphasized that terminals also serve as hubs for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
"We must reverse the notion that terminals are unsafe, a haven for troublemakers. It should be perceived as a comfortable space, offering good services, and fostering small to medium-sized businesses to trade their products in our terminals," President Jokowi explained.
Therefore, he highly appreciated the collaboration between the Ministry of Transportation, regional governments, provincial governments, and city governments regarding this Pakupatan Terminal.
"This collaboration has made the Pakupatan Terminal a reality," he concluded."
