Safety on buses

From Republika

I always travel by bus on the Senen/Cililitan-Depok route.
Almost every day on my way to work, brawling students throw
stones at the bus as it passes Pasar Genjing on Jl. Pramuka, East
Jakarta. No doubt, the passengers, particularly women, scream
hysterically. Very often the passengers are hit by stranded
stones. I have experienced such a mishap.

Therefore, I appeal to the police to guard the area and its
surroundings. I know it is difficult to overcome student brawls,
but at least it would help reduce the frequency of the
disturbances. This is also to safeguard state buses from
vandalism created by the unruly students.
