Cirebon Police Introduce Robot-Themed Service Post to Entertain Travellers at Palikanci Toll Rest Area
Cirebon (ANTARA) — The Cirebon City Police Resort (Polres) in West Java has introduced a service post with a distinctive robot-themed design at Rest Area 207A on the Palimanan-Kanci (Palikanci) toll road in West Java, aimed at entertaining and providing refreshment for travellers stopping to rest during the Lebaran exodus period.
Cirebon City Police Chief AKBP Eko Iskandar stated that the service post was designed with an innovative concept to capture public attention, particularly that of children resting at the rest area.
The service post is adorned with robot character statues featuring designs resembling Transformer and the superhero Iron Man, positioned at the entrance of the service area.
“At Rest Area 207 on the Palikanci toll road, we have established a service post with a robot concept. Here there are characters like Iron Man and Optimus Prime from Transformer,” he said.
According to him, the concept was introduced so that the police service post would function not merely as a service facility for travellers, but would also provide entertainment during their journey home.
Moreover, the police chief noted that the robot character statues were intended to serve as a photo opportunity for travellers stopping at the rest area.
Iskandar reported that since its introduction, the service post with the robot concept has attracted considerable attention and received positive responses from the public using the Palikanci toll road.
He stated that many travellers have utilised the location to take photographs with their families before continuing their journey to their hometowns.
He noted that children have been particularly enthusiastic upon seeing the robot characters installed around the service post.
“Especially the young children, they are very happy when accompanied by their parents,” he said.
Meanwhile, a traveller from Bekasi heading towards Tegal, Syahroni (32), expressed enthusiasm about the robot figures positioned around the service post.
According to him, the robot, standing nearly two metres tall, is quite striking and has prompted many travellers to stop to observe and photograph it.
He considered the presence of the robot figures to have made the rest area atmosphere more lively and entertaining for travellers who were resting before continuing their journey.
“The robot is quite tall, almost two metres, so it is visible from a distance and catches attention. The details are also good,” said Syahroni.
