A Bajaj Qute awaits passengers on Friday (6/10) across the road from Manggarai Station in South Jakarta. The Qute is to replace the bemo public minivan.

A plate inscribed with "Bemo" is mounted on the roof of a Bajaj Qute belonging to Rusdi, 63. The new four-wheeled vehicle is to replace the outdated three-wheeled bemo. "It’s so passengers don’t get confused," he said, explaining the reason for the rooftop plate. 

Rusli\'s new quadricycle was parked along with two other Qute in a neat row across from Manggarai Railway Station, South Jakarta, where they waited for passengers. In the upper part of the car’s window was a sticker that read ”Manggarai-RSCM”, the route once served by bemo.
