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.
