        "summary": "Residents in South Jakarta are voicing concerns over the parking area at the MRT Lebak Bulus Depot, which allegedly encroaches on the roadway, narrowing traffic lanes and posing risks to motorists, particularly during peak hours. Activist Rafli Zulkarnaen, known as Ijoel, highlighted numerous complaints from locals and passersby, noting that the site features official parking signs despite the road being a public asset managed by the regional government. Although the parking lot appears orderly and guarded, its expansion from the depot's early days underscores ongoing tensions between urban transport infrastructure and public space utilisation.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Residents are complaining about the parking area\nin the MRT Lebak Bulus Depot vicinity, South Jakarta, which is suspected\nof encroaching on the roadway, thereby disrupting passing vehicles.\n\u201cParking that takes up half the road definitely makes it narrow and can\neven cause accidents due to the tightness, especially during rush\nhours,\u201d said volunteer Rafli Zulkarnaen when contacted in Jakarta on\nMonday. The man, familiarly known as Ijoel, stated that his group has\nreceived numerous complaints from nearby residents as well as those\npassing the parking area. Moreover, he continued, the location features\na \u201cP\u201d (parking) sign indicating that the area is permitted for parking.\n\u201cAccording to the local community organisation, that road belongs to the\n\u2018Community Self-Reliance\u2019, but it is an asset owned by the regional\ngovernment according to information from the Transportation Agency and\nthe Jakarta One Map Channel,\u201d he said. Therefore, Ijoel regrets the\nparking activity at the location, considering that when the MRT first\nbegan operations, there was no parking lot in that area. \u201cThe MRT Lebak\nBulus Depot, in the early days of the MRT, there wasn\u2019t anything like\nthis,\u201d he said. Based on observations at the site at 11:00 WIB, the\noutdoor parking at Poins Square Lebak Bulus mall was seen to be neatly\narranged and guarded by officers in blue vests. Traffic flow appeared\nlight, given it was still working hours. Although the road does look\nnarrow, a number of motorbikes and cars could pass in both directions.\nThere is a parking sign and a poster notifying visitors that the parking\narea opens at 06:00 WIB and closes at 00:00 WIB. Visitors are reminded\nto double-lock their motorbikes as any damage or loss is not the\nresponsibility of the parking management.<\/p>",
