No more transit fare hikes!

No more transit fare hikes!

From Jayakarta

I have strong objections to any plan to increase the transit
fares. I always use the public transit system to go to work and I
have to change buses three times. Besides, I often have to stand
passenger through the whole ride because the buses are packed
with passengers. What an inconvenient experience!

The present fare for the PPD state-owned buses is Rp 250, for
Metro Mini Rp 300 and for the "limited passenger bus" Rp 600. We,
commuters, can do nothing to stop the plan. But should the
transit fare be increased, it would be appreciated if the crews
started treating the passengers like human beings. I don't mind
standing in the bus, but the crews should limit the passengers to
a certain number so that we can breathe freely in the bus.

It also would be nice if people would refrain from forcing
themselves into crowded buses.

It also would be wise for the transit companies to provide
more buses before they decide to raise fares.

We demand safety during our rides as well as convenience.
