Trains in Tambun

From Republika

The recent addition of train services in Greater Jakarta area has benefited Bekasi but does not include Tambun. Residents of Tambun can only rely on trains coming from Purwakarta, Cikampek and Cikarang.

I suggest that one of the trains in Bekasi start from Cikarang for its journey to Jakarta. An additional late-afternoon train is also needed to carry passengers from Jakarta via Bekasi to Cikarang.

I would like to inform Perumka state-owned railway company, that several fans and doors in the coaches need repairing, and missing parts of train equipment require replacement.

At Tambun and Cikarang stations, space and seats for waiting passengers are inadequate. The platforms should be higher to facilitate easy boarding of coaches without steps.

The recent increase in ticket prices by more than 50 percent is staggering. A gradual increase would have been more considerate. Improvement in service is also needed.
