New routes to promote market

TANGERANG: The Tangerang municipal administration is expanding
five minivan routes, obliging the vehicles to pass the newly
opened Tanah Tinggi main market in an effort to boost business at
the market.

The local development planning agency chief Affan Permana said
that Tanah Tinggi market was expected to become the
municipality's economic and trading center.

Affan said that since the facility was open three months ago,
only a few residents visited the market due to the lack of public
transportation in the area.

Minivans will ply the new routes starting Tuesday.--JP
