At 09.30 a.m., the party arrived at Bumi Sriwijaya LRT Station.

The mayor and BPKARSS were both dressed in traditional Palembang attire. Furthermore, the officials at the station dressed in Palembang traditional clothing. This is due to the fact that today marks the 1340th anniversary of Palembang City.
