Based on observations of Kompas in Bandarlampung to South Lampung, Medan and Manado, Thursday (24/3/2022), queues of trucks were seen at a number of gas stations. In Bandarlampung city and South Lampung regency, queues of vehicles stretched to the highway, which was dominated by freight trucks. Other types of vehicles, such as buses, pickup trucks and minibuses, also lined up since morning. This has happened almost every day in the last two weeks.
