Jakarta-Depok express train
Jakarta-Depok express train
From Neraca
The Pakuan Depok to Jakarta express train is no longer as
comfortable as it used to be. The express train started running a
few months ago, and the commuters were happy because the train
was not very crowded. The Rp 1500 fare for a one-way trip is
worth the comfort offered.
After only a few months, the comfort is diminishing. It now
resembles an economy train, and the commuters are disappointed.
The train conductors like to receive payoffs from passengers
who don't have tickets. According to the regulations, errant
passengers are fined double the price of the ticket. This has
become a joke.
I suggest that additional cars are made available, especially
for the evening journey from Gambir station. The railway staff
serving the route should be paid more so they so they don't stoop
to bribery.
