Pulo Gadung bus station is experiencing a problem. There is a shortage of buses in the station.
The travelers are waiting for the buses in vain, while those who already got their ticket bumped each other for seats. I talked to Satingah who was desperately waiting for bus. Satingah told me she had no ticket. She used to get ticket and buses easily. Satingah planned to wait for the buses. She came to the station with her family.
Satingah is one of hundreds of passenger who could not leave Jakarta because of the shortage of buses. Most of the buses were outside Jakarta, used to facilitate great exodus several days earlier. I asked Pardjiman, the station authority. He denied the shortage of buses.
“Last night, there were more than 13 thousands passengers carried by 344 buses. But today, the number of passenger is still increasing. Therefore we provide extra buses. No worries, we provide the extra buses for every destination,” Pardjiman said.
This is Lilik Dwi Mardjianto reporting from Jakarta only for ACFJ News.
