Bus terminal to be put in order<\/p>\n
Chief of South Jakarta Land Transportation Control Agency said
\nthat the city will continue improving the condition of Pasar
\nMinggu bus terminal in South Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Bubung Burhana told Antara news agency over the weekend that
\nthe current chaotic condition of the bus terminal, which can
\naccommodate 800 public busses per day, is caused by many
\nsidewalks vendors who do business on the roads and motorcycle
\ntaxi drivers who park their motorcycles haphazardly near the
\nterminal.<\/p>\n
Bubung said that the terminal improvement will be carried out
\nby containing the operations of both sidewalk vendors and
\nmotorcycle taxi drivers in the area.<\/p>\n
Rustam Effendy, a staff of the South Jakarta Mayor, has
\nfrequently warned vendors in the area to adhere to existing
\nregulations by refraining from trading on the roads and thus
\nobstructing traffic. None of them have heeded the warning.<\/p>\n
The chaotic condition of the terminal is worsened by the
\nrefusal of some bus drivers to drop passengers inside the
\nterminal complex.<\/p>\n
A bus driver who asked not to be identified said that he is
\nreluctant to drive his bus into the terminal because the facility
\nis too small and dirty. Its gutters are also broken down and are
\nfilled with dirty water which smells. (mas)<\/p>",
