Gambling on bus

Gambling on bus

From Neraca

I praise the new PATAS (Limited Passenger) bus service No. 67
plying the Blok M-Senen route, passing along Jl. Diponegoro, as
the driver drives properly and does not transfer the passengers
to other buses for silly reasons. This bus is more convenient
than the other double-decker bus service, No. 14, which is old
and often breaks down.

However, on Oct. 5, I boarded bus No. 67, at Tosari, and
because the lower deck was already crowded I went to the upper
deck and found a seat. I was shocked to find a group of
high school students still in their senior high school uniforms
gambling with dominoes. Occasionally they burst into wild
laughter and uttered unpleasant words.

Their behavior was quite a nuisance to other passengers but
nothing could be done for fear of unexpected and brutal reactions
from the students.

I suggest that measures be taken against students gambling
when they are riding in a bus.
