People heading
toward Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, west of Jakarta, were
forced to take other routes, such as the Jakarta Outer Ring Road in South
Jakarta or the Cawang-Pluit toll road in North Jakarta, as protesters blocked
two lanes of the Jakarta inner city toll road.
The toll road was blocked at the section in front of the House of
Representatives in West Jakarta, allowing no vehicles to pass through and
forcing the TransJakarta Busway to cease operations.
Hundreds of cars were trapped as they tried to access the route, and
were forced to turn around and head in the opposite direction as hundreds of
protesters broke through a fence divider onto two lanes of the toll road,
allowing no vehicles to pass.
No security guards or toll officers seemed able to do anything to stop
the demonstrators, detik.com reported.
Thousands of protesters staged demonstrations outside the House against
the government's plan to raise fuel prices on April 1. Lawmakers are expected to
vote on the proposal in the plenary session being held at the time of writing.
