Passengers complain about extra charge

TANGERANG: People returning from Idul Fitri trips abroad
through Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang have
complained about the taxi surcharge based on zones implemented
since 1998 by the Ministry of Transportation.

"I think this regulation should be lifted as it burdens people
coming back from a Idul Fitri holiday," a passenger, Usman Jauhar
from Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, was quoted by Antara as saying on
Monday.

The regulation stipulates a taxi surcharge of Rp 10,500 (about
US$1) for passengers going to Tangerang, Grogol, Kebon Jeruk and
Kalideres in West Jakarta; Rp 9,000 for Kemayoran, Tanah Abang
and Cempaka Putih in Central Jakarta and Kebayoran Lama in South
Jakarta; and Rp 7,000 for Kelapa Gading in North Jakarta, Kramat
Jati and Ciracas in East Jakarta, Cilandak in South Jakarta and
Bekasi. --JP
