South Jakarta residents will have an alternative place to leave their motorcycles during the Idul Fitri holiday, with space being made available at the mayor's office.
South Jakarta Mayor Edy Suherman said the policy aimed at ensuring that residents had a comfortable Idul Fitri trip to their hometown by not riding their motorcycles.
"We have urged people not to force themselves to ride their motorcycle during the exodus, especially those who plan to go with their families," Edy said on Tuesday.
Since riding a motorcycle on a long trip with lots of goods made motorists prone to traffic accidents, Edy said the parking service at his office would help decrease the rate of traffic accidents.
"Bringing along a wife, children and a lot of stuff [while riding a motorcycle] during an Idul Fitri trip is really dangerous," he said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
To enjoy the free service, residents need only submit copies of an ID card and vehicle registration document to South Jakarta administration officers. (hol)
