Buses ignoring schoolchildren

Buses ignoring schoolchildren

From Neraca

When traveling from Bekasi to Jakarta in the afternoon one is sure to see schoolchildren on the roadside waiting a bus to take them to school.

This is an indication of how little attention the regional government is currently giving to education development.

I would like to urge the government to think about the great need for transportation of schoolchildren. Efforts in this sector may not be profitable but they will be beneficial for human resources development.

Couldn't the government issue a policy to persuade or request bus owners to serve the schoolchildren too? It must be admitted that the fee collected from them (one third of the normal fare) is insignificant to bus operators, but profit should not be the only motive.
