Ojek in bus terminal

Ojek in bus terminal

From Pelita

The Kampung Melayu bus terminal accommodates buses of all sizes, and is now being used by ojek. The motorcycle taxis, sometimes number in the hundreds, then wait for passengers.

The terminal has always been a chaotic place, but the presence of ojek makes it even worse. Traffic police sometimes chase ojek drivers out of the terminal, but the relief is only momentary. The terminal should be used for public transport vehicles that have a permit to serve a determined route and not for ojek, which are free to choose their destinations depending on the customers.

The best way to handle the problem would be to have special parking places for the ojek. Maybe then order would be restored.
