Neighborhood Head: Rp 10,000 Parking Fee at Kalijodo Only Saturday Nights, Used for Cigarettes

On the issue of missing helmets, Suryana reiterated that it falls under the responsibility of the parking managers.

"I’m not sure; there’s a management team there. I only ask the children (Karang Taruna youths) to guard inside. That’s all I know," he added.

Suryana also mentioned that Karang Taruna’s role in parking management is linked to youth empowerment and funding youth activities in RW 05.

Some of these activities typically include Independence Day competitions and art performances.

The art performances held in the area usually feature music shows, karaoke contests, and children’s performances as part of Independence Day celebrations.

Suryana said entertainment at Kalijodo can also be organized during special events and does not happen every day.

"The entertainment happens only on Saturday nights," he said.

When asked if the parking fee collection would continue on the next Saturday night, Suryana said he would leave the decision to the management team handling parking.

"If the management says to continue, then we continue," he said.

Suryana added that this parking system is not new.

He explained that during previous management periods, parking was also implemented, with fees at one point calculated based on how long the vehicles stayed at the location.

"Before, the previous management also ran parking. It was charged by the hour. Even those just passing through were asked to pay during the previous management’s time. But not now," he said.
