Voucher system introduced

The voucher system, applied to payments for transporting containers, has a positive impact, Herry Y.C. Rotty, the chief of the special unit for transportation at the Tanjung Priok port of Organda DKI (The City Land Transportation Organization), said here yesterday.

The new system, introduced last Monday, makes it impossible for users of container transportation services to delay making payments, Herry said.

Under the system, users are required to get vouchers from Bank Bukopin, otherwise they will not be served, Herry said.

Under the new system, drivers of container trucks will still receive 'pocket money' amounting to 20 to 30 percent of transportation fees from the transportation companies, Herry said, adding that cash payments are not known under the voucher system.

Upwards of 1,000 containers have thus far been transported under the system, Herry said. (06)
