Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo urged demonstrate the environmental impact assessment (EIA) development of a new mass rapid transit. MRT construction is considered not consistent with government policy if the environmental impact of new construction of MRT is not immediately made public.
Chairman of the Jakarta Transportation Council (DTKJ) Principle Tigor Nainggolan Joko Widodo question the commitment of the associated environmental impact. Because the environmental impact of existing MRT has expired, and a new environmental analysis needs to be made before construction actually be realized.
"We recommend that PT MRT Jakarta Jokowi ordered environmental impact study done. Failure to do new studies, then this project (MRT) is not consistent with government policy, and people would question his commitment Jokowi that will accommodate the interests of the citizens," said Tigor, to Kompas.com , Sunday (05/05/2013) morning.
Tigor explained, until now the new MRT environmental impact study yet to be delivered. In fact, EIA last issued in 2005 (only valid three years), as a condition when the Ministry of Finance will propose MRT mega loan to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
The absence of a new EIA also has implications for the cut in citizen involvement in mega rail-based mass transportation. In fact, on many occasions, Jokowi claims will involve all parties, people (especially those settlements will be passed MRT lines), NGOs, and transportation expert review team to enter the MRT construction.
"How to get involved, EIA (new) just is not there anyway," he said.
On May 2, 2013, which was accompanied Jokowi entire board of directors and board of commissioners of PT MRT Jakarta has launched the construction of the MRT at the Hotel Indonesia roundabout. In fact, the refusal of the MRT is still widely heard. In particular, to the concept of the overpass that will cross from Lebak Bulus to Sisingamangaraja as judged would undermine urban planning.

Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo's view, the MRT mega project could not be delayed any longer.
Jokowi target, the end of 2013, the contractor for Phase 2 has been set.
"We encourage the details engineering design (DED) completed quickly so that construction of phase 2 even faster," he said.
MRT Phase 2 development is planned along the 8.1 kilometer. Unlike the first phase of the trajectory is designed under the ground and the kite, the entire trajectory in phase 2 is under the ground. Phase 2 is planned to begin operation in 2018, a year after the operational phase 1 begins.
PT MRT Jakarta are still discussing about the financing of MRT Phase 2 with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

These markets include the Market Block A, three market locations in Blok M, Cipete Market, Market Mede, and ITC Fatmawati.

Some people also rallied stated, Jokowi also been promised to examine the MRT project plan with project-affected people directly. However, suddenly elevated MRT approved and soon began to be built. In fact, the people who live and have businesses around the project site also rejected.
Responding to the rejection of the citizens of the kite designs, Jokowi said that it was common. Legitimate citizens reject the government's development program.
"It's just a matter of communication. Later I met, we can talk, "he said.
Jokowi also has several times held a hearing with urban residents and observers.
