Plasten leveres på tilpassede busstopp og resirkuleringsstasjoner rundt i byen.
Indonesia produserer 187,2 millioner tonn forurensning av plast som går i havet, nummer to etter Kina.
In Indonesia, commuters pay for the bus with plastic waste
RESIDENTS of Indonesia’s second largest city Surabaya can now pay for the bus in a novel way – by trading in used plastic.
The city’s mayor Tri “Risma” Rismaharini last month announced the roll out of the new Suroboyo Bus, comfortable, air-conditioned buses which are, importantly, accessible for disabled, elderly and pregnant passengers.
While the buses might be shiny and new, passengers are invited to pay for their rides not just with money, but with plastic they turn in at designated bus stops and recycling stations around the city.
“Passengers can travel around Surabaya for two hours for free,” Risma said as quoted by Indonesia’s Antara News agency. The government seeks to reduce private vehicles – which currently consist of 75 percent of traffic on the roads – to 50/50 with public transportation.
Indonesia produces 187.2 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, making it the second biggest marine polluter in the world behind only China.
