Buses on the move again<\/p>\n
SURABAYA, East Java: About half of the bus operators whose
\ndrivers went on strike the previous day began operating on
\nTuesday, the head of City Land Transportation Agency's sub-
\nterminal section Indra Gani said<\/p>\n
Fearful of vandalism and angry mobs who have set fire to
\nseveral buses, hundreds of intercity bus drivers at the Purabaya
\nterminal went on strike on Monday demanding that police guarantee
\ntheir security.<\/p>\n
\"I've contacted several operators in order to run buses as
\nscheduled. But some of them have said that there are many drivers
\nstill absent,\" Indra said.<\/p>\n
Indra said that buses bound for central Java had returned a
\nlittle back to normal.<\/p>\n
Many passengers have been forced to take the train as an
\nalternative.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the head of the Association of Land Transportation
\nOwners for east Java branch Mustafa said that police security
\nguarantees had been affirmed.<\/p>\n
\"In the last two to three days, every bus has been accompanied
\nby one to two national police officers. As for bus operators who
\nare still not operating, maybe it's due to technical problems,\"
\nhe said, pointing to bus operators Akas, Sumber Kentjono and
\nKalisari. (nur\/hdn)<\/p>",
