Drivers protest route overlaps<\/p>\n
TANGERANG (JP): Dozens of minivan drivers have staged a
\nprotest at the local office of the Land Transportation Agency
\n(DLLAJ) here, demanding that chronic route overlap be sorted out
\nas soon as possible.<\/p>\n
They also urged officers to take stern measures against
\nminivan drivers whose route was overlapping with theirs or who
\nfrequently took the law into their own hands by forcefully
\nstopping them, asking the passengers to get out and preventing
\nthem from plying their routes.<\/p>\n
The protesting drivers were operating minivans G-06 that ply
\nthe Cikokol-Sangiang route. About 2 kilometers of their route
\noverlap with minivan R-06 on Jl. Imam Bonjol.<\/p>\n
\"We're frequently intimidated by minivan R-06 drivers, not to
\ncontinue our services, as they claim that the overlapped route is
\ntheirs,\" Sarman, one of the protesters, said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The intimidation was unfair, he said, as G-06 minivans were
\nnot the only vehicles serving the routes. There were other public
\ntransportation vehicles, including AJA buses and Mayasari Bhakti,
\npassing along the route as well, he said.<\/p>\n
Adeng Rustandi, a managing officer of the agency's Tangerang
\noffice, said after a meeting with representatives of the
\nprotesters, that his office would try to settle the problem as
\nsoon as possible. (41\/hhr)<\/p>",
