Rp15,000 Accommodation in Pulo Gebang Becomes a Solution for Transit Travellers
Commander of Squad 2 of the Pulo Gebang Integrated Terminal Management Unit (UP TTPG), Anwar Mansyur, stated that accommodation is one of the flagship services that differentiates the terminal from others.
“Perhaps the flagship facility in the terminal that is not owned by other terminals at the moment is one of them, accommodation,” said Anwar in the UP TTPG area, Cakung, East Jakarta, on Sunday.
He explained that the accommodation rates are relatively affordable, making them accessible to various groups of passengers.
“For Rp15,000, you can stay at the terminal, with air conditioning facilities and using mats,” said Anwar.
Currently, there are 25 accommodation rooms available, spread across two locations in the terminal area, namely 17 rooms in one building and 8 rooms in the arrival area.
According to Anwar, the occupancy rate of the accommodation is high and almost always full, especially during the Eid transportation period.
“The demand is high and it is always filled by passengers at all times,” he said.
To improve comfort, the management plans to increase the room capacity to around 50 units and improve supporting facilities.
“The target is around 50 rooms. Then the facilities will be improved again so that those who stay feel comfortable,” said Anwar.
In addition, evaluations are also being conducted on the height of the mattress base and room humidity to enhance user comfort.
“We will fix it, including replacing the bedsheets and maintenance so that it is not damp,” he said.
Pulo Gebang Terminal serves various land travel routes to Central Java, East Java, Sumatra, and West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). For the Sumatra region, the services cover routes to Lampung, Palembang, Bengkulu, Riau, Jambi, and Medan in North Sumatra. The terminal also serves routes to Bali.

The number of buses arriving from 00.00 to around 14.00 WIB was 525 units.
