Hundreds of candidate passengers who want to go back to their hometowns in Kuningan, Slawi, Tegal, Purwokerto, Pemalang, Malang, Madura, Rangkas, Merak, Bandung, and Bogor are piling in Tanjung Priok Terminal, North Jakarta. This happens because the buses from those regions are late coming into the terminal due to the collapse of Comal Bridge in Pemalang, Central Java.

I’ve been waiting since morning. They said the bus is heading here and will come in a while, but no sign of it until now

“The buses that will transport those passengers are stuck in traffic due to Comal Bridge collapsed. To resolve the situation, we’re asking autobus companies (PO) to provide more buses,” stated Head of Tanjung Priok Terminal, Alfred, Sunday (7/20).

Junaida (30), one of candidate passengers, admitted has waiting for the bus since 8 AM. Together with her parents, husband, and toddler, she is going for homecoming to Sumenep, Madura.

“I’ve been waiting since morning. They said the bus is heading here and will come in a while, but no sign of it until now,” she lamented.
