Costly trip from Taman Mini<\/p>\n
From Neraca<\/p>\n
Recently, my family and I spent a holiday at Taman Mini
\nIndonesia Indah. I was able to enjoy the various cultures of
\nIndonesia. I was awed at Indonesia's ability to unite so many
\ncultures within the scope of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in
\nDiversity). And why not?<\/p>\n
Here we have a host of assorted cultures that are united in
\none purpose: to work hand in hand to build the nation.<\/p>\n
However, I had transportation problems. I was aware that
\ntransportation in Jakarta would be much higher than in my
\nhometown of Semarang. Yet I could not get over the high fare from
\nTaman Mini to Kampung Rambutan, less than one kilometer away from
\nthe park (right across the toll road). I estimated that the trip
\nshould have cost me Rp 300, but I was made to pay Rp 1,000.<\/p>\n
Another rather suspicious thing was that the respective public
\nvehicle was not registered on the evening transportation
\nschedule. Yet, I boarded the vehicle at 5:46 p.m.<\/p>\n
I do not know their reasons for charging us such an outrageous
\nfare. I also do not know if the park's management was aware of
\nthe matter. The transportation cost to Taman Mini could be said
\nto be within reason, but how could such a costly public vehicle
\noperate in the park's vicinity without the management's
\nknowledge?<\/p>\n
Is this not detrimental to Taman Mini's reputation?<\/p>\n
