Hatta Ediyana said there was<br>\nnothing that could be done because the fee was based on a 1994<br>\nregulation.<\/p>\n<p>\"The fee is used to improve public services,\" Hatta said last<br>\nThursday.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers can choose to park in one place, called 'illegal<br>\nterminals', or take passengers without parking. By parking under<br>\n'No Stop' signs, which makes traffic congestion worse, they are<br>\nassured of having full vehicles, but must pay levies of up to Rp<br>\n5,400.<\/p>\n<p>For a route between Sukasari and Merdeka, a driver, Nasim (not<br>\nhis real name), said the Rp 5,400 involves the following: Rp 800<br>\nfor \"route money\", Rp 2,200 for police, and Rp 300 for the person<br>\nwho helps him cajole passengers to his vehicle, for each stop at<br>\nthe Muria intersection.<\/p>\n<p>Nasim said this does not mean all is well.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes other police officers get angry because they are not<br>\npaid. \"They ask more from us and get angry if we don't pay, and<br>\nthen drive us away from parking places,\" Nasim said.<\/p>\n<p>Police who ticket drivers will let them go if they pay \"more<br>\nthan Rp 2,000\", he said.<\/p>\n<p>At the Sukasari market area, drivers pay Rp 500 for parking,<br>\nRp 300 for security, Rp 400 for helpers cajoling passengers and<br>\nRp 200 for route money.<\/p>\n<p>A driver, Sodik (not his real name), said he heard parking<br>\nfees go to the local military command and security fees were for<br>\nlocal hoodlums.<\/p>\n<p>Behind Sukasari Plaza drivers said security fees of Rp 700 a<br>\nday are paid to three local mobile police officers.<\/p>\n<p>\"The fees are supposed to make sure officers take care of our<br>\nvehicles if there are any disturbances. But often they don't do<br>\nanything,\" another driver said. (24\/anr)<\/p>",
