Bus ticket scalpers in terminal are very troubling

"Bus ticket scalpers in terminal are very troubling, as it is detrimental to ticket buyers and bus companies (POs)," expressed AKAP Bus Terminal Head, Revi Zulkarnaen, Saturday (3/25).

According to him, this cooperation is important, as unscrupulous scalpers usually start operating from Ramadan to Idul Fitri and sell tickets at a higher price than the price set by the bus company. Moreover, the bus company also does not get any profit from the sale of these tickets.

As a form of supervision in the field, officers will guard and monitor by searching for unscrupulous buses who are active at Kalideres Terminal.

His party will also open a complaint post for visitors so they can help report to officers if they find bus scalpers at the terminal to be brought to the Kalideres Police for legal processing.

"Hopefully, the terminal will remain conducive and safe, thus the flow of homecoming and returning flow to this year's Idul Fitri will run smoothly," he stated.
