        "summary": "The lift at the Lenteng Agung pedestrian bridge in South Jakarta has been out of service for several months, forcing residents, students, and the elderly to climb numerous stairs to cross a busy road. Transportation expert Deddy Herlambang attributes this to inadequate maintenance and oversight of public facilities, noting that proper schedules and supervision could prevent such prolonged disruptions. Local users express frustration over the recurring issue, which first occurred last year, highlighting the critical need for reliable infrastructure in high-traffic areas.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com \u2013 The lift at the Pedestrian Overpass (JPO) in\nfront of the Institute of Social Sciences and Political Science (ISIIP),\nin the Tapal Kuda flyover area, Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, has been\nreported broken for the past several months. This condition has been\ncomplained about by residents, students, and the elderly because they\nmust climb dozens of steps to cross the busy road without lift\nassistance. The lift at the Pedestrian Overpass (JPO) in front of the\nInstitute of Social Sciences and Political Science (ISIIP), specifically\nin the Tapal Kuda flyover area, Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, has been\nbroken for the past several months. Transportation expert Deddy\nHerlambang assesses that the damage to the Lenteng Agung JPO lift not\nonly disrupts public mobility but also indicates weak management of\npublic facility maintenance. \u201cIf it\u2019s broken for a long time, it could\nbe due to lack of maintenance from insufficient supervision,\u201d said Deddy\nwhen contacted by Kompas.com on Tuesday (7\/4\/2026). According to Deddy,\nthe lift maintenance system should refer to the manufacturer\u2019s manual\ninstruction (MI), with varying maintenance frequencies, from monthly,\nquarterly, to annual, as well as major maintenance every 2\u20133 years. \u201cIf\nthere is a clear schedule and supervision, the damage should be\npreventable or at least detected earlier,\u201d said Deddy. He added that\nchallenges such as budgets or vendor contracts are generally not\nobstacles. \u201cActually, there are no challenges; it just comes back to the\noperator whether they are serious about providing public facility\nservices,\u201d he stated. \u201cAs far as I know, last year (2025) it was also\ndead for a year. Now it\u2019s happening again, seems like it\u2019s been broken\nfor several months too,\u201d explained Anton when met at the JPO location on\nMonday (6\/4\/2026). He hopes that the relevant parties will promptly\nfollow up on the repairs. According to him, most JPO users are students,\nschoolchildren, and residents who must cross the busy main road, so the\npresence of the lift is very important. Rehaini (38), a resident living\nright in front of the lift access, emphasised that the broken lift\ncondition makes daily activities more exhausting. \u201cThis is already the\nsecond time; the first one last year was broken for a year too. Now it\u2019s\nhappening again. So, like it or not, we have to use the JPO, even if\nit\u2019s out of breath,\u201d she said.<\/p>",
