Bus crew members support Amien Rais

JAKARTA: Thousands of students from Muhammadiyah-run schools in Jakarta and hundreds of bus drivers and their assistants gathered on Wednesday at the East Jakarta headquarters of the Primajasa bus company, to declare their support for presidential candidate Amien Rais.

During the gathering, Amien inaugurated five buses, on whose bodies are painted pictures of Amien Rais and his running mate Siswono Yudohusodo, as well as their campaign slogans.

Amir Mahmud, the president director of Primajasa, said he supported Amien and had ordered that all of the company's buses carry Amien-Siswono stickers. -- Antara
