Public transportation is “angkot” and buses via this road. On the eastern side of the park adjacent to
Jalan Mohammad Toha there is a public transportation stop. Meanwhile, the BKR road is the main
street of the city of Bandung, which serves as a gateway to the city for immigrants from outside the
city of Bandung. This road is traversed by “angkot” and buses. There is also a public transportation

many private vehicles, public vehicles, and pedestrians pass them so that congestion often occurs,
