Bank DKI Supports Governor Pramono's Designation of Block M as Jakarta's New Hub

Jakarta– Bank DKI supports the designation of the Blok M area as a new hub which was declared by the Governor of Jakarta Pramono Anung in the context of the 498th Anniversary (HUT) of the City of Jakarta at the Martha Christina Tiahahu Literacy Park, Saturday (24/5/2025).

The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government plans to develop infrastructure in the Blok M area, including the construction of disabled-friendly sidewalks and a 24-hour public park. Apart from that, regional connectivity is being strengthened through the launch of new routes from PIK 2 and Alam Sutera, as well as plans for cross-regional transportation integration through "Trans Jabodetabek".

Governor Pramono stated that this integration aims to reduce congestion caused by the daily mobility of millions of people, while maintaining Jakarta's cultural identity. "We can't just think about Jakarta. Trans Jabodetabek is a real solution,"

Bank DKI also supports the realization of the integration of public transportation in Jakarta through a non-cash payment system, namely JakCard. Previously, Bank DKI has also supported a free public transportation program for 15 groups of citizens by issuing Jakarta Mobility Free Access Cards (JakMob) which are integrated with TransJakarta, MikroTrans, LRT, MRT and KRL transportation modes.
