Price increase of train tickets<\/p>\n
From Pikiran Rakyat<\/p>\n
On March 12, my family and I bought railway tickets at the
\nBekasi, West Java railway station for Jatibarang. According to
\nschedule, the transit Solo Balapan train would depart from Bekasi
\nat 8.45 a.m.<\/p>\n
I gave the ticket seller a Rp 20,000 banknote for three
\ntickets of Rp 4,500 each. But I was surprised when the employee
\nasked me for another Rp 7,000 because the price of the ticket had
\nincreased from Rp 4,500 to Rp 9,000.<\/p>\n
After questioning the 100 percent rise, I was told the price
\nhad increased for the morning train, while the price for the
\nevening train remained the same. As I had no choice, I paid the
\nRp 7,000. Passengers grumbled about the unfair increase which had
\nbeen implemented for over one month.<\/p>\n
It would be appreciated if the railway company could explain
\nwhy the price of morning and evening train tickets are different.<\/p>\n
