MUI calls for good services

JAKARTA (JP): Chairman of the Indonesian Ulemas' Council Hasan Basri has called on the government and transportation companies to provide good services for people making trips for Idul Fitri holidays.

Good services will enable those who want to go by bus or train to continue their fasting, as they will not necessarily jostle for train or bus tickets, he told Antara on Wednesday.

The decision made by the government and transportation owners to provide more trains and buses is very much appreciated, he said.

He also called on the government to find alternatives to prevent people from jostling for train, bus or ship tickets to their home towns for Idul Fitri celebration, by providing more departure points. (sur)
