Once Upon a Time in a Jakartaâs Train (Photos and videos on www.nizami.multiply.com )
Jakartaâs trains which are often called KRL Jabotabek (Jakarta-Bogor-Tangerang-Bekasi electric train) are always full. These trains serve passengers in Jakarta and its surrounding cities: Bogor, Tangerang, and Bekasi. Passengers not also out of the trainâs doors because the rooms are so full, but also up on the train coach. Though some people are dead because their neck hit electric cable, yet many people keep on going on the train coach. Perhaps they donât have money or simply because there is no more room in the train coach. The video (the pictures from video) taken on Saturday morning (8AM), February 24, 2007 in Tebet station. The crowded train heading to Jakarta. On Monday-Friday, the situation even worse! I was lucky to travel against the stream. Leaving Jakarta to Depok. Though the trains are quite crowded, yet many peddlers walking around selling their merchandises. There are also beggars ask for some money. Some of them old people. Sometimes with no foot to walk. Some blind and guided by his/her friend. There are also people crawling and cleaning the trainâs floor with their hands and ask passengers for some money as a reward. Yes, those are the daily routines for many commuters in Jakarta. If they take bus, the bus not only full like that but also the traffic jam is horrible. It could take 2-3 hours for 10 miles ride. Once I go back from my office at 15:30 and came home at 20:40 while the distance only less than 10 miles. Nice isnât it? Does our president care about this? Oh no. He is taking limo with many cars and motor-cycles guarding around him. His route is emptied about an hour before he passes. May be he never saw the Jakartaâs passengers trainsâ daily routines. === Ingin belajar Islam sesuai Al Qur'an dan Hadits?
