        "summary": "Bogor Regency has begun repairing the long-out-of-service escalator at Bojonggede Station, using available parts while waiting for others to arrive. The transport agency hopes it will be working again by mid-December; meanwhile, passengers say the closure has forced them to take a route up to three times longer and left them exhausted.",
        "content": "<p>Bogor Regency Government has begun repairs on the broken escalator on\nthe skybridge at Bojonggede Station in Bogor, West Java. The work is\nbeing carried out in stages because some spare parts are not yet\navailable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s right, repairs began this afternoon,\u201d Bogor Regency Transport\nAgency head Bayu Ramawanto told detikcom on Wednesday evening (28\nOctober 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Bayu said the work was proceeding with the parts currently available.\nHe said the repairs were being carried out as quickly as possible, with\ncompletion expected by mid-December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the parts have to be ordered, while others are in stock.\nWhile we wait for the ordered parts, we are starting repairs using the\nparts we already have,\u201d Bayu said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope the repairs will be completed soon. Hopefully, the station\nescalator will be back in service by mid-December at the latest,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n<p>Video received by detikcom showed several workers repairing the\nBojonggede Station escalator, which was still out of service earlier\nthat day. Parts could be seen on the floor beside the escalator.<\/p>\n<p>Workers were shown dismantling sections of the escalator, removing\ncomponents from underneath it and replacing them.<\/p>\n<p>The Bojonggede Station escalator has been out of service for a long\ntime, forcing train passengers to use the route designated for people\nwith disabilities. Residents have protested the prolonged lack of\nrepairs by sending a flower arrangement to the station.<\/p>\n<p>Residents had previously called for the broken escalator at the\nstation to be repaired promptly. They said they had been forced to walk\na route three times longer, including up an incline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m from Bojonggede, and I hope they repair the broken escalator\nsoon. We used to be able to take the lift or escalator straight\nupstairs; now we have to walk much further. It would be a great help if\nthe escalator were fixed,\u201d Jidan said at Bojonggede Station on Wednesday\n(28 October).<\/p>\n<p>He said the damage had made the route much longer, tripling the\ndistance he had to cover.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely much further \u2014 three times the distance. With the\nescalator, we went straight up. Now, because it\u2019s broken, we have to\nwalk up an incline and go around three times, so it\u2019s a lot further,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n<p>The broken escalator has also left residents more tired, as they have\nto walk uphill and along the lengthy Bojonggede skybridge corridor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, it\u2019s exhausting. We have to go round and round; before, we took\nthe escalator and then walked across the skybridge to the terminal,\u201d\nsaid Ana, 45.<\/p>",
