Transportation service

From Warta Kota

The electricity and telephone rate increases as well as the fuel price hike have adversely affected the life of most citizens, including operators of public transportation.

Transportation companies have prepared to raise the fares, as reported by the mass media. However, as I have experienced, operators of urban and suburban transportations have never made any efforts to improve their services, leaving the vehicles in a deteriorating condition.

Now with the opportunity to increase the fares, the transportation operators have no reason to argue that spare parts and component prices are too high to enable them to provide better service or maintenance. The same applies to city buses, some of which keep running despite their poor condition.
