"So he can go back and forth, hopefully all can be transported. The number of the fleet is approximately 110, with a maximum capacity of 60 passengers each. The waiting time is half an hour, if it is close, it can be half an hour, such as in Tandes and Osowilangun. But for Joyoboyo, it might take a little longer," he advised.
