Depok terminal

Depok terminal

From Neraca

A few days before the celebration of the 49th anniversary of
the Indonesian proclamation of independence, Depok Town
Administration launched an operation code named "K3 Operation."
K3 stands for kebersihan (cleanliness), ketertiban (order) and
keindahan (beauty) and it was meant to rid the bus terminal of
ticket scalpers and hawkers, and regulate vehicles entering and
leaving the terminal.

The movement was a great success, orderliness prevailed, cars,
entering and leaving the terminal were moving in an orderly
manner. However, after the 17th of August celebration was over,
the operation was stopped. Then the old scene at the Depok
terminal was back. Hawkers were swarming the area and ticket
scalpers resumed their business, shouting out where the vehicles
were bound for. Actually, even without them the commuters know
perfectly well which vehicles go to what destinations.

Also it is very disheartening that the roads leading to the
station are in bad condition. During the dry season the dust
flies like a mass of smoke every time a vehicle passes which
causes poor visibility and makes breathing uncomfortable. In
mentioning this I hope to bring this matter to the authorities'
attention.
