Illegal commuters

Illegal commuters still rampant

From Warta Kota

The country's railway company recently conducted raids intended to put street hawkers, buskers and non-paying train riders out of business, but apparently to no avail as the hawkers non-paying train riders are still a problem. These illegal commuters are sometimes seen playing hide-and-seek with the train employees checking passengers' tickets.

Some of these illegal commuters are quite helpful, as they sweep the train cars, although they ask for money when they are finished. Perhaps their presence could be of benefit to the railway company, as long as the company gave them some direction, such as where they should dump the garbage, how they sweep, etc.

What I see is that, after sweeping the train cars, these people just throw the garbage out or pile it up in a corner. As a result, the trash will just rescatter when the wind blows or when some train passenger unintentionally kicks the pile. This will result in a cloud of dust.
