        "summary": "Illegal levies at Gambir station From Trust Every weekend I catch the Parahyangan train to Bandung from Jakarta's Gambir station. I get the impression that management of the station -- particularly that dealing with executive and business classes -- has become increasingly messy. Apart from the ticket scalpers doing business at the station, would-be passengers also pay illegal fees imposed by plainclothes officials.",

The official fee<br>\nis Rp 500.<\/p>\n<p>Scalpers are free to offer tickets to potential passengers and<br>\noperate right in front of ticket windows. I should think twice<br>\nbefore traveling by train if such a messy and uncomfortable<br>\ncondition prevails at the station.<\/p>\n<p>SIDHARTA<br>\nDepok, West Java<\/p>",
