Limited passenger bus

From Neraca

I am disappointed by public transportation in Jakarta,
particularly the ordinary limited-passenger buses popularly known
as Patas non-AC buses. Firstly, I feel that the fare increase is
too high, particularly since the service has not improved.
Secondly, the bus crew has very little concern for the safety of
passengers. When a passenger wants to get off the bus, the driver
never stops his bus, but just slows down, with the conductor
shouting at the passenger to hurry up.

Unfortunately I am dependent on this bus for my daily trip to
work. So I have no choice but to endure the hassle.

I hope the management of state-owned and private bus companies
act on this matter. Better still, they should reclassify Patas
buses as normal buses to reflect the reality.
