TANGERANG (JP): About 150 Angkot (minivan) No. 03 fleet
drivers went to the City Council yesterday in protest over the
local administration's plan to deploy more vehicles to serve a
new route.

They said the plan to open a new route from Cikokol to Gading
Serpong which will be served by Angkot No. R 19 fleets should be
scrapped. "If the administration insists on opening the route it
should be served by the Angkot O3 fleet," Herry, one of the
drivers, told The Jakarta Post.

The drivers also asked that the company not allow Angkot
number 06 A vehicles to pass through Jl. Raya Serpong. They
complained that their earnings have been badly affected since the
rival Angkot drivers were allowed to operate on the road.(18/bas)
