Jakarta-Bogor trains

Jakarta-Bogor trains

From Neraca

The electric trains plying the Jakarta-Bogor route are now
also indulging in the same bad practice as that of Metromini and
Kopaja city minibuses, which dispose of their passengers at will
and cut short their itineraries.

One day, I took the train to Bogor, but when it arrived at
Depok Lama, all passengers had to disembark because the train had
a breakdown. We had to wait for hours with no results, because
all trains did not go farther than Depok Lama.

The incident is not occasional. I have often experienced this
mishap. There are also trains which, upon arrival at smaller
stations, are ordered to return to Jakarta. No explanation is
ever given.

We appeal to the state railway company Perumka to revamp their
management in order to serve the public in the proper way.
