Stickers for Bogor vans

Stickers for Bogor vans

JAKARTA (JP): The Bogor Land Transportation Agency has started
issuing stickers to public transport vans in a drive to stamp out
illegal operators.

The agency is also reviewing the vans' routes because some of
them are becoming so saturated they are barely profitable, the
agency's head Endang Durochim told Antara.

One set of stickers costs Rp 1,700.

The agency will limit the number of vans on each route and
redeploy the excess to new routes.

Currently, 5,855 vans are licensed to operate in Bogor.

The clampdown against unlicensed operators follows a series of
strikes by public transit van drivers two months ago.

The drivers protested the authority's failure to contain the
number of vans, which they blamed for their falling incomes. (07)
