Road back to normal

BANDA ACEH, Aceh: Land transportation along the approximately 600-kilometer route between Banda Aceh and Singkil has returned to normal after being disrupted for almost one month due to security concerns.

Intercity buses which serve the public between Aceh's province capital, Banda Aceh, and Aceh Singkil regency have resumed operation, Rachmat, the owner of CV BAS bus company, said here on Saturday.

It takes about 16 hours by bus from Banda Aceh to Singkil.
