AKARTA: The City Transportation Agency has ticketed 203 public minivan drivers for failing to wear the prescribed uniform and produce identification during a raid at city terminals.
The agency gave public transportation vehicle operators a grace period of a month, from Oct. 18 to Nov. 21, in which to ensure all drivers were equipped with uniforms and special public transportation driver licenses.
“Incompliant drivers receive a warning for the first offense. Harsher penalties will be given starting next month,” head of the agency Udar Pristono said.
Repeat offenders, he added, would have their licence suspended for 16 weeks, and face a permanent ban.
The measures were taken in a bid to curb crimes involving public minivans drivers. Over the past two months, a number of female passengers were raped inside public minivans. In one of the cases, a university student was gang-raped and then killed in an M24 minivan serving the Slipi-Srengseng route in West Jakarta in August.
