Students protest chaotic traffic

BOGOR (JP): About 60 Pakuan University students grouped under the Indonesian Transportation Society (MTI) staged a street protest on Wednesday, campaigning for orderly traffic in the city.

The group walked its way along Jl. Ir. H. Juanda, Jl. Capt. Muslihat past Ramayana Department Store, Bogor market, the Kujang Monument, Baranangsiang bus terminal, Jl. Padjadjaran and back to City Hall.

Waving posters and banners, the students demanded the public heed traffic regulations.

"We also demand the administration fix traffic signs and facilities. Many traffic lights are not functioning properly, while pedestrians never make use of pedestrian bridges and zebra crossings," Dede, a protesting student, said.

The group plans to submit recommendations on how to fix the city's overwhelming traffic problems to the mayor soon. (21/edt)
