Robbery on bus

Robbery on bus

From Warta Kota

As a school student, I was ashamed of what I experienced the other day. I was going by city bus from Blok M to Senen. When I got on there were only a few passengers on board. A few minutes later, a group of teenagers wearing school uniforms suddenly stopped the bus by standing in the middle of the road and forced it to stop.

Within a few seconds, to my horror, they began to rob the passengers, and if any of the passengers refused to give the "students" money or whatever they wanted, the "students" didn't hesitate to point their knives at the passengers concerned.

Of course, this incident caused nervousness, fear, and uneasiness among the passengers, in particular the female ones. We all agreed that under no circumstances should the "students" (I have no idea if they were really students) have committed such a crime.

I hope the police will immediately take the necessary stern measures to deal with these criminals for the sake of the security of passengers traveling on city buses in Jakarta.
