Depok to build new bus terminal

DEPOK: The Depok administration will build a new bus terminal for city, inter-city and inter-province public buses in the Jatijajar area in Cimanggis in 2006, Tempo Interaktif reported on Sunday.

Head of the terminal and parking division of Depok City Land Transportation Agency (DLLAJ), Ade Effendi, said that the new terminal would occupy an area of 6.4 hectares and cost Rp 120 billion (about US$12 million).

"We are now in the last stage of planning and hopefully we can start the construction in 2006," he said.

Ade said that the existing terminal in Depok was inadequate. -- JP
