JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post) : The Jakarta Transportation Agency has launched an operation to improve the discipline of drivers of public buses and minivans.
Supported by municipality transportation sub-agencies and public order officers, a series of raids that began on June 21 has seen more than 100 minivans impounded.
The minivans are currently being held at a transportation agency pool in Cakung, East Jakarta.
"The number of minivans and buses still being held has gone down from the 163 that were held at the start of the operation," a transportation official in East Jakarta, HS Budiyono, said last week.
"The rest have been released to the owners or cases have been taken to court."
Budi said the minivan drivers whose vehicles were temporarily held had violated parking rules, failed to present ownership papers or had illegally used busway lanes.
The agency is still conducting raids in areas prone to traffic violations, such as East Jakarta's Cawang, Klender and Pulogadung.
