Buy train ticket, take home a bike

JAKARTA: To get rid of fare evaders and touts, state railway company PT KAI has introduced a lucky draw for commuters who buy monthly economy-class tickets.

A Kenzen motorcycle will be won every month by five lucky passengers.

"This program aims to persuade all passengers to buy counter tickets ... Moreover, it may attract people to use trains," said Ministry of Transportation official Setiawan Rudiono during the launch of the program on Wednesday.

The names of five winners for August were displayed at all train stations in Greater Jakarta on Thursday. -- JP
