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.
