Name boards in stations

Name boards in stations

From Kompas

Much progress has been made by the railway company so far, but there is still much room for improvement. Now, a passenger must remember the station where he or she is supposed to get off or they will miss their stop. This is because the loud speakers in the train do not function. The problem is particularly bad at night and when the train is overcrowded. The train conductors do not inform the passengers of the name of the station while the train is approaching it, which is a rule in other countries.

The name board of the station is placed too high so that it cannot be easily read even by the sitting passengers. There is just no easy way for passengers unfamiliar with the area, or tourists, to know what stations they are at when the train makes a short stop. For the benefit of the passengers, the company should place more name boards so that all passengers can have a chance to read the name of the station. In developed countries, they write the name of the station on the walls every 20 or 30 meters. In this way the passengers who want to get off will not miss their stop.
