Musical Metrominis

Musical Metrominis

From Media Indonesia

The Metrominis' commuters from Senen terminal to Tanjung Priok
are often asked to move to another bus when they are only half-
way through their journey. This is done by the driver when
passengers are scarce between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. I am not
surprised at this particular behavior of the bus crew as I have
often experienced such cases. But those who experience this for
the first time will scold the driver and his conductor. The crew,
on the other hand, seem immune to such scolding.

More often than not the bus with less passengers transfers its
passengers to the already crowded bus, thus depriving the
transferred passengers of the comfort of a good seat on the
previous bus, and bear the pain of standing and being packed in
with other passengers on the receiving bus. The situation is
worse for one who travels with children.

The emptied Metromini returns to the departing terminal, not
due to technical problem but due to business considerations.

Being aware of the daily situation, the driver must anticipate
the less profitable hours and consider transferring his
passengers while the bus is still at the departing terminal.
