MAKE EDUWISATA TOURISM, AGAINST PASSENGERS' INTEREST IN LRT

The South Sumatra Light Railway Management Center (BPKARSS) organizes Eduwisata as part of its efforts to increase passenger occupancy. This educational program certainly aims to introduce the public, particularly participants who are taught about public transportation and traveling.

The activity was carried out by visiting the South Sumatra LRT station, followed by direct interaction with the environment, and the formation of an important culture of public transportation, according to BPKARSS Public Relations Officer Fajar Anugrah Tumanggor. "The majority of the targets are students accompanied by teachers." "So they can be directed," he explained.

The Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum, Monpera Museum, South Sumatra State Museum, Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport, Punti Kayu Nature Park, Palembang Bird Park, and Kemaro Island are among the stops on this LRT education tour. "Various facilities are obtained in this activity," he added.

Among others, round-trip LRT tickets, tour guides, destination tickets, souvenirs, lunch, e-certificates, as well as bus shuttle fees, and boat rentals that are adjusted to the needs "This educational LRT runs every Thursday," Fajar explained. There are several approaches to this activity. Namely, using a bus and also walking. The two methods are determined by the user's preferences.

Meanwhile, the Eduwisata fare varies by location. For example, Kemaro Island Participants were charged between Rp 100.000 and Rp 110.000. The route does not go from or to the Airport Station for Rp 100.000. Meanwhile, the route to and from the Airport Station costs Rp. 110.000. "This is for a group of 40 people." "It is different for the student's guardian," he added.

He expected that Eduwisata could increase public interest in riding the LRT. "Education must begin early," because children are also taught about public transportation. Especially for students. The model is more than just classroom learning. But also get to know the larger environment and play," he said.

According to Fajar, the LRT Eduwisata concept is intended for learning while traveling. "It is packaged interestingly so that children are not bored." "There are also games throughout the event," he added. As a result, the South Sumatra LRT can reach out to civil society to support the national movement to return to public transportation (GNKAU).
