Dozens of people clutching bags full of plastic bottles and disposable cups queue at a busy bus terminal in the Indonesian city of Surabaya － where passengers can swap trash for travel tickets.
在印尼泗水市一處繁忙的公車總站，數十名乘客手上抓著裝滿塑膠瓶和拋棄式杯子的袋子排隊，因為可以將垃圾換成車票使用。
The nation is the world’s second-biggest marine polluter behind China and has pledged to reduce plastic waste in its waters some 70 percent by 2025.
印尼是僅次於中國的全球第2大海洋污染國，因此已承諾在2025年前，將其海域的塑膠廢棄物減少約70％。
The Surabaya scheme has been a hit in the city of 2.9 million, with nearly 16,000 passengers trading trash for free travel each week, according to authorities.
當局表示，人口290萬的泗水市採取的作法大受歡迎，每週有近1萬6000名乘客用垃圾換取免費搭乘公車。
An hour-long bus ride costs three large bottles, five medium bottles or 10 plastic cups. But they must be cleaned and cannot be squashed.
搭公車1小時須付3個大瓶罐、5個中瓶罐或10個塑膠杯子；這些瓶罐都必須清洗乾淨，而且不能被壓扁。
Franki Yuanus, a Surabaya transport official, says the program aims not only to cut waste but also to tackle traffic congestion by encouraging people to switch to public transit.（AFP）
