\u201cWe can see remarkable progress. Facilities at Pasar Senen Station\nhave improved significantly, and the comfort of women and children is\nincreasingly being prioritised.

The presence of these various facilities is part of the government\u2019s\ncommitment to providing more inclusive and family-friendly public\ntransportation services, particularly during the anticipated surge in\npassengers during the Eid mudik period.<\/p>\n
In addition to inspecting facilities, the Minister also greeted women\nand children preparing for their journey home to their villages.<\/p>\n
