JAKARTA - The first work day of the large-scale social restrictions period in Jakarta was marked by confusion and chaos, with people unsure of the government's regulations on public transportation.

More than 4,000 KCI service and security officers, assisted by Marine Corps personnel, were deployed to 80 stations to provide commuters with information on the passenger restrictions, PT KCI said. Meanwhile, a lack of coordination among ministries has created confusion among users and drivers of app-based ojek services.

Previously, Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan's request to allow ojek drivers to take passengers was denied by the Health Ministry. Five areas in West Java, namely the cities of Depok, Bekasi and Bogor as well as Bekasi and Bogor regencies received approval on Saturday to implement PSBB status from Wednesday.
