Coba Anda perhatikan setiap kali kereta api melintasi jalan ibukota pada jam-jam sibuk. Anda sudah pasti akan melihat pemandangan yang luar biasa. Ratusan orang melakukan aksi nekat dengan duduk di atas gerbong-gerbong kereta api yang sudah begitu kuno dan ketinggalan jaman. Orang asing yang sedang berkunjung ke Jakarta mungkin akan berdecak kagum melihat pemandangan itu, “Wow. They’re so brave!” Well I don’t think it’s because they’re brave madam, but they are kepaksa.
Pada tanggal 29 Maret 2007 Detik.com memberitakan bahwa setiap hari jalur kereta api di Jabotabek dinaiki oleh 19 ribu penumpang gelap alias penumpang yang gak mau bayar. Luar biasa, 19 ribu orang tidak membayar fasilitas publik tersebut. Bayangkan berapa kerugian yang harus dialami oleh PT KA setiap harinya.
So enough about that. I’ve got money now. Time to discuss the train system. It’s quite nice, actually…you can read all about it at this
They’re actually quite nice if you pay a little extra. Tomorrow I’ll be taking a night train north to see some more caves. Apparently it’s an UNESCO World Heritage site that shouldn’t be missed. I’ll see if that’s true or not in two days.
Last of all: jet lag. It’s been creeping up on me the past few days. I’ve been going to bed early and waking up early, which most of you know is not normal for me. I think today has been the first day where I’m feeling more at ease with the time change. I’ll still go to bed by 10, but hopefully I’ll wake up closer to 8am and not 4am like I’ve been doing.
Other than that, not much new to tell you. I took a bunch of videos today, which I’m uploading for you now, but it takes a while to upload. As soon as they upload I’ll post them to the site.
