Hello, friends!
Today i accompanied mom to meet her doctor and before we needed to go to puskesmas (people health center) to ask for the referral letter so mom could see her doctor in the hospital for free. Mom needed to control her health because no hospital since the pandemic, the hospitals mostly closed for public cause they focused on the covid patients.
I took a photo of mom in the waiting room of the puskesmas.
Here how the puskesmas looked from the outside.

After we had met her doctor, then we wanted to go to blok m plaza to have our lunch. Fortunately, the hospital is located not far from haji nawi MRT station. Before continue, Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is a rapid transit system in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. It is a kind of subway in Jakarta.
Here was how the station looked like from the outside
We should take the elevator to reach the MRT station.
Haji Nawi MRT station was clean and quite large. It also had the drink stall inside. To get into the MRT, we needed to scan the QR code from the government application in order to enter the gate. Unfortunately, i got a bit problem with my application so i needed to show my certificates of vaccination. This took longer time than it usually needed and luckily mom could use it well, no problem on her application.

Mom used the bank card, while me i used the application, bought ticket then scan the qr code on my e-ticket on the gate to enter. Here was the ticket
The tap barcode to tap in and out were different. Here one of the barcode
The fare only 4k IDR for a person (or just around 3 USD) cause it wasn't far to the Blok M BCA station.
I took the photo of mom on the MRT station photo spot.
Then we went to the 2nd floor to enter the MRT, needed to wait cause it took 10 minutes of time from 1st train to another. The waiting area on the 2nd floor was large and also clean. Comfortable to wait here..
Not a long time of waiting our MRT came..
Here was inside the MRT
Not many passengers cause they limitted the number of it during the pandemic.. it was clean and no one could speak in the MRT to avoid the droplets.. even when i forgot and talked with mom, a security came and reminded us, oh no, long time couldn't travel with MRT made me forgot that i mustn't talk inside. Oops!
The blok M station was larger.
To get out we needed to take the elevator to the 1st floor.
We then went to get out from the station by passing the gate one more time.
It named Blok M BCA cause it had the BCA bank counter and ATM inside.
This station was special cause it is located in front of my old office plus it connected to blok m plaza..
Both mom and i were happy cause we could travel with MRT again after a long time (almost 2 years) cause when the pandemic was cronic, the public transportations were closed for all of us and when it opened again, only workers and seniors plus children couldn't use it.. but thanks God, it is getting better now so the government could open almost all the public places like before!
Thanks for reading my article...
Happy weekend and stay safe, friends!
