100 buses impounded every month

JAKARTA (JP): At least 100 public transportation vehicles are
impounded every month in West Jakarta for allegedly violating
traffic regulations, a local officer said.

Antara reported that head of the West Jakarta branch for
Traffic and Land Transportation Control Agency, Loren Simatupang
said yesterday the impounded vehicles are part of the 2,461
public buses and minibuses listed in the area.

Simatupang hoped that the number would fall slightly, in line
with the stern enforcement of the traffic law regulation on
selected roads in the city.

"All parties, including the owners, drivers and conductors of
public vehicles, as well as police officers and the public, have
a certain role to play in order to help improve the condition of
the city's public transportation system," he said.(bsr)
