Trucks operation halted in Lampung

BANDARLAMPUNG, Lampung: Traders have stopped the operation of
about 500 trucks due to a decrease in the volume of merchandise
that needs transporting to and from Panjang Port, Antara said on
Wednesday.

According to the head of the Organization of Land
Transportation Owners, Zamzani, most of the trucks were off the
road but the owners still had to pay their vehicular taxes.

He said more than 1,000 trucks, owned by both private
companies and individuals, used to operate in the port. Only half
of them are operating now.

The economic crisis has caused a decline in the flow of goods
to and from the port. (01)
