Order in Pasar Minggu

Order in Pasar Minggu

From Jayakarta

The area around the Pasar Minggu bus terminal in South Jakarta
looked rather orderly on Friday. Although it was still crowded
with a huge number of public transport vehicles, the drivers
behaved well. No vehicle were stopping and waiting for passengers
at the terminal exit and as a result the vehicles queuing behind
did not have to wait long.

Usually, many buses and minibuses stop to wait for passengers
at the exit, causing a serious jam. The drivers behind them
usually sound their horns, adding to the chaotic atmosphere.
However, it was unusually orderly on Friday due to the presence
of two officials of the City Land Transportation Agency (DLLAJ).
They worked hard to prevent bus drivers from stopping at the
exit.

If only the situation could last! People would love to shop at
the nearby Pasar Minggu market, especially if the city sanitation
workers helped make the area clean. As it is, there is always a
heap of garbage near the Pasar Minggu market, especially in the
morning, causing a bad smell, especially on a rainy day.

I believe there are many other people who would like to see
the Pasar Minggu bus terminal and market cleaned up, so it is
nice and orderly. When order is in place, neither public
transport drivers nor the passengers will be easily worked up.

I would like to express my gratitude to the DLLAJ officials
who have performed their duty well.
