Saw a number of people taking photos in the HI roundabout bus stop area. Meanwhile, several other passengers were seen enjoying the view of the welcome statue from the second floor of the HI Roundabout stop.
In the waiting area of the bridge, dozens of TransJakarta passengers lined up. The reason is that the pavilion area can only accommodate up to 20 people at a time.
“The maximum capacity of the platform is 20 people,” reads the announcement post in front of the queue.
One of the passengers, Ayu (22), said she deliberately came to the HI Roundabout stop to take photos in the pavilion area that had gone viral on social media.
“It’s cool, it’s fun. (Previously) riding the TransJakarta, it came deliberately because of FYP on TikTok,” Ayu said when interviewed by detikcom.
Ayu said she queued for about 10 minutes to wait for her turn to enter the bridge area. She admitted that she felt a tremor on the second floor of the platform area.
“But I’m a little scared because it’s still vibrating, it seems to vibrate,” he said.

Another passenger, Roso (27), said he queued for about 10 minutes. He said this platform is good for taking pictures.
“When you’re in line, it’s about 10 minutes, just when you get there it’s good for taking pictures. Especially at night, the lights are good,” Roso said.
Roso said there was a vibration at the edge of the bridge area. However, he said there were no vibrations in the center of the bridge.
“There is a (vibration sensation), if you feel it at the edges, you can feel it because there may be no support, yes, if it’s not in the middle it doesn’t (vibrate),” he said.
Meanwhile, another passenger, Dhani (37), admitted he felt the bridge area wobble. He said it would have been better if the platform area were enlarged so as not to cause queues.
“(The disadvantage) is the most shaky, so if you can, it will shrink, if you can, it will simply widen it so that there are no more queues, so that people are more flexible and have more capacity,” Dhani said.
