ozens of Metro Mini bus drivers and conductors staged a demonstration on Saturday to protest the Jakarta Transportation Agency's confiscation of their vehicles.
'We are demanding that the transportation agency return our buses, which it seized without any valid legal grounds,' said one of the protesters, Ahmad Sucipto, as quoted by wartakotalive.com.
The agency, Ahmad said, had no right to confiscate Metro Mini buses, as the drivers met the requirements to operate public transportation, such as holding complete vehicle administration documents.
Separately, Jakarta Transportation Agency operational control head Maruli Sijabat confirmed that his agency had been monitoring and confiscating Metro Mini buses in light of the poor condition of many. As of Saturday, Maruli added, the agency had seized around 200 Metro Mini buses.
