The bus depot has been packed since Tuesday with holiday travelers.Bojonegoro (ANTARA News) - Special tourist buses are being operated to ferry returning Lebaran holiday travelers from Bojonegoro in East Java, to Jakarta, Bogor and Bandung, an official said on Wednesday.
Wawan Istiawan, the spokesman for an inter-city and inter-province bus operator at the Rajekwesi bus terminal said that tourist buses for Lorena and Pahala Kencana were also being run by the company.
He added that this special bus service has been started to transport returning holiday travelers, who have been unable to get tickets for train travel or for the regular bus service from Bojonegoro to various big city destinations across the country.
Meanwhile Edy Subroto, the spokesperson for the Rajekwesi bus terminal said, the bus depot has been packed since Tuesday with holiday travelers who are returning to their work places and schools after celebrating the Idul Fitri festival with family and friends in their hometowns.
He also pointed out that regular buses travelling to Surabaya, Malang, Jakarta, Bogor and Bandung from Bojonegoro are already available for the returning Lebaran tourists.
But the bus terminal's management has also made arrangements for an additional 32 tourist buses that will move the returning holiday makers to Bandung, Bogor, and Jakarta to help avoid any accumulation of passenger traffic at the terminal.
