Inconsiderate bus drivers

Inconsiderate bus drivers

From Neraca

It has become a common sight that passengers of public mini
vans, even state-owned PPD buses, are being moved from one
vehicle to another in the capital. Jakartans seem to have become
accustomed to this inconsiderate treatment from bus drivers, even
if their actions are illegal and cause considerable
inconvenience.

Despite these visible violations of traffic laws, road
officers do not seem bothered and have apparently left passengers
to the mercy of wily bus drivers.

Drivers only dare to violate traffic laws if they are in
collusion with traffic officials.

But why should this go on forever without any efforts from the
authorities to straighten out the present situation?

The big losers in this game are the bus passengers.

I suggest the authorities should take action and reprimand
drivers who move their passengers to other vehicles whenever they
see fit to do so.

If nothing is done about this, the ongoing national discipline
drive would have been in vain.
