The Rangkasbitung\u2013Tanah Abang Commuter Line, or Green Line,\nexperienced a signalling disruption at Tigaraksa Station this morning.\nThe problem caused passengers to pile up at stations and inside\ntrains.<\/p>\n
One passenger, Adel, said the signalling problem made her late for\nuniversity. She was travelling from Sudimara Station to Tanah Abang\nStation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got to the station at half past six, but it was already full.\nThen, by 6.44, the train still hadn\u2019t arrived. We waited and were told\nthere was a problem at Tigaraksa. I had an 8am class, so I messaged my\nlecturer first because I knew I would be late,\u201d Adel said at Tanah Abang\nStation.<\/p>\n
Adel said she had to let three trains pass because they were already\nso crowded. She was able to board the fourth train to arrive at Sudimara\nafter the signalling disruption began to ease.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen one train arrived, not a single person could get on. Three\ntrains went by and I still couldn\u2019t board. They were full from Sudimara.\nI finally got on the fourth one; I forced my way in,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Adel said she cried because of the crush inside the train. Her water\nbottle, or tumbler, fell beneath the train.<\/p>\n
\u201cI forced my way in, and my tumbler\u2014it was a big one\u2014fell under the\ntrain, down by the platform. In the end, I was left holding just the\nlid. I really couldn\u2019t breathe, and I even cried on the train,\u201d she\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Another passenger, Ana, said she was also affected by the Green Line\ndisruption that morning. She said the train was extremely crowded, even\nthough she was travelling only from Palmerah Station to Tanah Abang\nStation.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, there was some kind of delay this morning, and it was very\ncrowded. It\u2019s usually not that busy when I travel towards Tanah Abang,\nbut this time it was packed when I tried to board. Apparently there was\na problem around Parung or Serpong, though I wasn\u2019t quite sure what the\nannouncement said,\u201d Ana said.<\/p>\n
Ana called for information about delays to be shared sooner, saying\nthis would allow passengers to prepare to use other forms of public\ntransport.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope the information can be provided sooner, so we can make\narrangements to use other public transport,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
