The Organization of Land Transportation Owners (Organda) for Jakarta plead for all political parties against renting any means of public transportation in accommodating supporters during the campaign season to avoid other travellers from getting stranded.
The secretary general of Organda's Jakarta chapter TR Pandjaitan said on Sunday that the parties should instead use chartered busses thus regular public transport vehicles would be able to carry passengers as usual.
“On the other hand, I also call owners of all regular transportation modes against renting their vehicles to the parties,” he said as quoted by

On Friday, Democratic Party's supporters rented regular busses, neglecting many passengers and causing them to arrive late at offices and campuses in the capital. (ewd)
