The buses will support the city's bold target to be free of plastic waste by 2020. STORYLINE: Indonesia's second-biggest city Surabaya is on the frontline of the fight against plastic waste in the country. The city has launched an inner-city bus fleet named "Suroboyo Bus" in April this year to encourage its residents to recycle plastic bottles. Residents can pay for a ride on the bus with used plastic bottles. The buses serve 21 bus stops across the city. ==== Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_Archive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/APArchives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/APNews/ You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/7d4c58dd24464b2e647896eb5b1f160b
