Ancol-JIS Gate Embodies Ancol's Commitment to Supporting Jakarta's Development
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The President Director of PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk, Syahmudrian Lubis, stated that the presence of the Ancol-Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) Gate is a tangible manifestation of Ancol’s commitment to supporting Jakarta’s development, which is becoming increasingly integrated and community-oriented.
“The presence of the Ancol-JIS Gate is the answer to the need for regional integration, which has long been part of the development vision for North Jakarta,” he said in Jakarta on Monday.
Ancol is not only a tourist destination but is also transforming into part of the city’s ecosystem, connecting recreational, sporting, cultural, and public mobility activities. By connecting Ancol through a pedestrian bridge (JPO) and the JIS KRL Station within a seamless corridor, the company is optimistic that this facility will provide ease of access for the public.
“This will optimise the use of public transport and create potential for new economic and tourism movement in the North Jakarta area,” he added.
The existence of this integrated infrastructure is expected to provide various tangible benefits, including serving as a solution for mobility and parking management during large-scale events at JIS, increasing ease of access for the public to enjoy recreational facilities at Ancol, and strengthening North Jakarta’s position as a connected hub for sports, tourism, education, and entertainment.
According to him, this momentum is also part of a collective step towards welcoming Jakarta’s 500th anniversary as a global city possessing increasingly integrated transport systems, public spaces, and destinations. Moving forward, Ancol will continue to strengthen collaboration with the Jakarta Provincial Government and various strategic partners to present regional innovations that provide added value to the community, improve the quality of the visitor experience, and strengthen Jakarta’s competitiveness as a world-class destination.
PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk has officially begun operating the Ancol–JIS Gate, a new access route that directly connects the Ancol tourism area with the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS). This inauguration is part of the “Jakarta Terhubung” (Connected Jakarta) programme series, held in celebration of Jakarta’s 499th Anniversary, officiated by the Governor of Jakarta, Pramono Anung Wibowo, alongside the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia, Dudy Purwagandhi.
Syahmudrian assessed that the Ancol-JIS Gate is a strategic step in realising connectivity in North Jakarta through the integration of public transport, sports facilities, public open spaces, and recreational destinations. This new access is directly connected to the JPO Bersama BTN—part of Bank BTN’s Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) programme—the JIS KRL Station, and the Ancol tourism area.
With this integration, he added, the public now has a more convenient, safe, comfortable, and environmentally friendly travel alternative to access both the JIS area and Ancol using public transport, particularly the KRL (commuter rail), thereby reducing dependence on private vehicles. “This will also help reduce traffic congestion and the need for parking areas during large-scale activities at the JIS area,” said Syahmudrian.
