BANDARLAMPUNG, Lampung: Hundreds of participants in the
peaceful rally of political parties here found themselves without
transportation at the end of the day and had to hitch a ride from
passing motorists.

Antara said that the participants were picked up by trucks and
various other vehicles at their neighborhoods for the rally. They
were later left behind at sites far from home or at public
transportation terminals.

"It's a good thing the truck drivers were willing to take us
to the terminals," said one participant. "That's okay, it's
exercise for us." (swe)
