Train safety

From Kompas

We still witness groups of youngsters throwing stones at passing trains. A friend of mine has told me about his unpleasant experiences with these youngsters during the daytime. There is no guarantee that a train can pass through Jakarta safely.

Therefore I have some suggestions for the railway company. Fix a metal frame on train windows to protect passengers from stray stones. Specifically for night trains, you could install wooden or metal blinds that can be raised or lowered at will. Or use window glass similar to that used to make cars safer.

Although we all appreciate the improvements made already, like exact schedules, better ticketing, and suchlike, the company should remember it is also responsible for the passengers' safety.
