Chaos at Manggarai Station as people run to get on to a train after work
nice picture but I am sad see my country like that ..
Thanks so much for your comment and for looking at our blog. I too am so sad to see that people have to travel like this – I hope that one day the government will finally put a system in place that makes it safe for people to travel on railways and not have to risk their lives and be so uncomfortable on dangerously packed trains 🙂
