Challenging a Danger


Easy and cheap transportation is the most favourite choice for the people in my country. One example is busway. This is the most favourite public transportation for the people living in Jakarta. As you can imagine, the simple and cheap transportation will become the favourite one and as the result, passengers will fulfill every space in the bus.
Another favourite public transportation in my country is Jabotabek train. This kind of train serves from south of Jakarta (Bogor) until Jakarta-Kota, and also serves from Bekasi until west of Jakarta, making people easily move from those areas to other areas in Jakarta. Well, in the early morning of Tuesday on September 28, 2010, I have a duty to Bogor to interview a professor. The story about this will be written later... :) .
So, for the first time during last five months, I stepped in Depok Baru Railway Station. The passengers are so crowded waiting for the train to Jakarta-Kota and Tanah Abang. I have no wonder about this since today is working day until the officer in the station gave an announcement of the coming train from Bogor. This made me fascinated! The train were full of passengers even they had to sit at the top of the train and also hanging on the handle bar near the train door. This could be done only for the 'stunt master' for TV or film show... :) . And if you see this in your TV, there could be a text 'Don't do this at home' to remind the people not to do this.
As you can see in the picture above, that would be the profile of our public transportation nowadays. So what should we do to solve the condition like this? Any opinion?
