Convenience, safety on trains

Convenience, safety on trains

From Kompas

We, train passengers, no longer feel at ease or safe traveling
by train because of crimes which often take place on trains. The
Senja Utama Solo-Balapan train, Senja Utama Yogyakarta and Fajar
Utama Yogyakarta are some examples. Also, train singers and
hawkers seem to have free access onto trains, which is quite a
nuisance to the passengers. They do not hesitate to awaken
sleeping passengers and insist that they give them some money. It
seems that the singers are well organized. They come in groups
(more than 10 groups), entering the train one coach after
another. Imagine, there are about seven coaches to a train.

I regret that the rail authority has done nothing to put
things in order and drive the singers and the hawkers off the
train, as they did in the past. I wonder whether they are only
concerned with the profits and completely ignore the convenience
and safety of the passengers.
