More protest from minivan drivers

TANGERANG (JP): Another protest by minivan public drivers was
staged yesterday by at least 100 drivers who went to the office
of the Land Transportation and Traffic Agency.

The drivers plying the R 11 route from Cimone to the Cikokol
terminal demanded a ban on R 09 minivans from plying the same
route.

They also asked the agency not to add more R 11 minivans to
the existing ones.

Some representatives met with agency officials, police and
military members.

Maman assured the drivers that the agency would take strict
action against the R O9 drivers if they were really found plying
the route.

The protest followed an earlier one on Wednesday when 300 (not
3,000 as earlier reported) drivers protested against what they
said were illegally operating public transport vehicles.

"We will not hesitate to impound any public vehicles which ply
the Cimone-Cikokol route without permits," Maman said, echoing
similar promises on Wednesday. (18/bas)
