Clean up your act, PT KAI<\/p>\n
We all know PT Kereta Api Indonesia (PT KAI) is beset by
\ncriticism about its sliding safety record as the number of
\ncollisions and crashes mount.<\/p>\n
Still, apart from setting straight the missed signals and
\nstopping the fatal accidents, PT KAI also needs to do something
\nto clean up the entertainment offered during the journeys,
\nparticularly on the Bandung-Jakarta route.<\/p>\n
On a 9 a.m. Parahyangan trip last week, passengers were a
\ncaptive audience for a low-budget Hollywood blood n' guts fest.
\nIn addition to the throat-slittings, disembowelments and sundry
\ndecapitations, the passengers, including at least three children
\nunder the age of 10, were treated to the sight of the female
\nheroine strung up bare-breasted on a cross. It was not a fleeting
\nshot, but lasted several minutes to keep all the voyeurs among us
\nhappy.<\/p>\n
Captive audience we were; we did not have the choice to switch
\noff the video or walk away (the dining car perchance, or PT KAI's
\noh-so attractive bathrooms?) at the increasingly shocking images.
\nThe biggest irony of all was that the film was sandwiched between
\nshowings of Tom and Jerry and Mr. Bean.<\/p>\n
The public relations department of PT KAI needs to think a
\nlittle harder about its passengers and appropriate fare for all
\nof them, unless its entertainment is aimed at keeping happy the
\nvarious workers who seem to do nothing but sit around at the end
\nof the train cars.<\/p>\n
I would not watch such trash in the privacy of my home, and I
\ncertainly do not want to have it forced on me as part of a train
\nservice.<\/p>\n
