City plans to manage terminals

TANGERANG (JP): The local municipal administration office
plans to regulate the estimated dozens of unauthorized intercity
bus terminals and unlicensed bus ticket booths that are
increasing here.

"The existence (of illegal terminals) has disturbed traffic
and created heavy congestion on several streets," Rachmat Hadis,
head of Tangerang's Land Transportation Agency, said on Tuesday.

Rachmat, however, did not mention the exact sites of the
booths.

Most intercity buses heading to and from Tangerang have
refused to enter official terminals, such as those in Cikokol,
Ciledug and Cimone, to avoid paying fees and bribes.

"Drivers of the buses have decided to hang out at their own
ticket booths and wait for passengers," Rachmat said. (41/edt)
