The Inquiry Process

Field Trip to PT MRT and DINAS Perhubungan

The students went on a fieldtrip to "Dinas Perhubungan " and "PT.MRT" by way of public transportation. They rode an angkot to Ragunan, then they rode a Transjakarta bus to Dinas Perhubungan. The students interviewed Bapak Agung and Bapak Doni about public transportation, specifically about macro transportation and the new from of transportation in Jakarta: Mass Rapid Transportation (MRT). Dinas Perhubungan said that 2000 motorcycles and 500 cars are made in factories every day. This situation makes traffic in Jakarta. That's why the government is cooperating with PT. MRT and JICA (a transportation company from Japan) to build macro transportation that can help reduce traffic. After interviewing the officer about macro transportation, they went to PT. MRT and rode the metro mini 640. Students interviewed the officer in PT. MRT and they got information that PT MRT will build two types of MRT: an elevated one and an underground one (subway).

Group Fundraising

The students raised funds on two separate days. The first day, the students were located in the Al Jabr 1 building and offered interactive games to the students there:
  • A matching card game
  • A "guess the car logo" game
  • A "guess the car model" game
  • A scooter and bicycle course challenge
Each game cost Rp 5,000 and the contestants all when home with stationary (i.e. rulers, pencil sharpeners, pencils).

The second day we were in the Al Jabr 3 building and still offered the interactive games, but we also sold Penbandulan (iced tea) and fussli (pasta) to the other students. Alhamdulillah, we raised a total of Rp 584,000 over the two days to help fund our action.

Group Action

The mentors and some of the parents joined the students' action at the Transjakarta bus stop in Ragunan. They picked the bus stop because they wanted input from people who currently use a form of public transportation available in the city. 
The students had people fill in a banner with four boxes on it regarding the MRT: questions, ideas, wishes, and opinions. Now the banner will be given to PT. MRT as feedback from the general public about the MRT project.
