Officials bust bus companies

JAMBI, Jambi: The Jambi Public Order Agency has closed dozens of
illegal bus company ticket counters over the past week in Jambi
city, an official said on Tuesday.

The illegal ticket counters increased rapidly throughout the
city because many bus companies tried to get more passengers by
opening up more ticket counters outside Alam Berajo main bus
terminal in the city, said Rusli Kamal, the chief of Jambi Public
Order Agency.

The measure, was aimed at selling extra tickets ahead of the
Idul Fitri travel season, but had led to rampant ticket scalping,
said Rusli. -- JP
