Airport introduces new transportation system
Airport operator PT Angkasa Pura II introduced a new transportation system after receiving many complaints over illegal fees and robberies in taxis leaving the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.
The new system integrates the management of airport taxis and bus services which initially was managed by an airport task force, Angkasa Pura II president director Edie Haryoto was quoted as saying by The Jakarta Post.
"The new system is aimed at providing security, safety and comfort for all airport visitors," he said. The integrated service, according to Edie, will enable the airport operator to take stern actions against unscrupulous taxi companies or drivers.
Only 13 taxi companies who passed a selection test for reliability held by the airport operator were allowed to wait and take passengers out of the airport beginning Friday.
The 13 taxi companies are Blue Bird Group, Taxi Cab, Express, Primajasa, Tiffani, Koperasi Taksi, Gading, Steady Safe, Sri Medali, Ratax, Dian, Royal City and Gamya. The total number of the taxis are 1,530.
