The condition of the Senen Terminal, Central Jakarta, is getting chaotic and worrying. Hence, in the near future, the terminal will be revitalized.
Terminal looks dirty, I prefer to wait the bus outside
Moreover, the unorganized public transport in terminal is often causing traffic congestion. It is worsened with dozens of vendors opening their stall near terminal and even many of the public transport crews often peeing carelessly. It obviously makes the passengers complain.
"Terminal looks dirty, I prefer to wait the bus outside," complained Ferdi (29), one of the passengers, Thursday (5/28).
