MetroMini, Jakarta
The MetroMini minibus system is major part of the public transport system of Jakarta. There were reportedly over 3,000 buses in the MetroMini fleet in mid-2012. The buses are similar to the parallel Kopaja system which also provides transport services, on different routes, across Jakarta. The distinctive MetroMini buses are orange and blue with a white stripe running along the length of the bus. Buses provide seating for around 20-30 people with, often, an equal number crammed into limited standing room so the buses are often overcrowded.
==Policy issues==
There is considerable public debate in Jakarta about the services provided by the minibus fleets. The minibus systems are, at best, only loosely regulated. The are part of the large informal sector which underpins the more formalised part of the Jakarta economy.
On one hand, the buses are cheap and plentiful. On the other hand, passengers frequently complain about the quality of services. For example, safety is often compromised by this practice of overloading.〔Pangeran Siahaan, '(Being Led by Leaders with a Mentality of a MetroMini Bus Drivers' ), ''The Jakarta Globe'', 25 May 2012.〕 In addition, the drivers are often reckless and do not pay attention to traffic signs and other traffic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/myjakarta/my-jakarta-rudin-public-bus-driver/397108 ) See also, '(Taming minibus drivers' ), ''The Jakarta Post'', 20 October 2012.〕 Like the Kopaja buses, the MetroMini bus diesel vehicles are often badly maintained and contribute significant amounts of pollution in Jakarta.〔Anita Rachman, '(Buses, Angkots and Rustpots Driving Jakarta Residents Crazy' ), ''The Jakarta Globe'', 7 May 2012.〕 Indeed, many of the buses are known to operate without such basic equipment as handbrakes and speedometers.〔Sita W. Dewi, '('Who needs handbrakes?' Ask Metro Mini drivers' ), ''The Jakarta Post'' 30 August 2013.〕 Some observers take the view that the structure of the Minibus system, which is largely run by individuals operating in a semi-legal manner, needs to be better regulated. In principle, bus operators are required to abide by Indonesian laws and regulations about public transportation. But in practice, operators often ignore these laws. For example, in principle, public transport is required to be provided by legal firms which have a corporate structure but this is generally not the case with the Metromini buses. Some bus owners are reported to have formed a cooperative but the corporate arrangements are described as "ramshackle."〔'(Metromini owners must form corporations' ), ''The Jakarta Post'', 10 October 2012.〕
