Toilet trouble on the train

Toilet trouble on the train

From Warta Kota

I usually take the Parahyangan train from Jakarta to Bandung and vice versa. Traveling on this train is more comfortable and quicker than going by bus.

On Sunday, July 16, 2000 I took the Parahyangan from Bandung to Jakarta. The train left Bandung at 1 p.m. and I was in a business coach (K-1). Unfortunately, I could not enjoy the trip as much as I usually do because I found only one toilet with running water working properly.

In view of this, I would like the railway company to explain why such a high-class train as the Parahyangan can allow its toilets to have no water. A seemingly trivial matter like this can indeed unfavorably affect passenger comfort. The railway's management should run a check before allowing the train to leave the station.
