Jakarta needs more trees

This is a small sloping park located across from Sudirman train station in Jakarta. Train commuters who get off and head to Hotel Indonesia traffic circle from the station will surely pass it to get to the overhead street. The park is quiet during work hour and it's not a recreational park during holidays.

 

I like seeing the the green around here and imagine if there will be more and more of the like around Jakarta. Yes, when you're mobile and get tired of your routine, you can drop by in a park and have a rest for a while.

Unfortunately. green areas in Jakarta are extremely limited. Man think money first rather than preserve nature. The permit for new business buildings have been issued for the sake of the development.
Then when disaster comes, we never learn from this classic mistake. The floods stop you from mobility, grumbles comes up only  as a useless dissatisfaction, but the initiative for improvement usually comes late or almost nothing. Well, have a rest here for a while at this blog and keep up with more updates of candid pictures.

Another side of a "clean" train station

Newsstands, kiosks, "lapaks" and semi-permanent buildings around the train station almost across Jakarta were demolished recently. Traders are prohibited from selling either on the platform or on the train. Buskers and beggars could not do business there as usual. It seems that the authorities want to curb the station that had been considered messed up.

On the one hand, this is a relief for some passengers, especially those of the economy class-train commuters who are overcrowded every peak hours. The presence of traders, beggars and buskers who wade along the carriages often disturbing. On the other hand, of the human side, this is a violation againts human rights. Anybody is free to earn a living wherever they want, are they?

I took thus photo in the station of Tanjung Barat, Jakarta. This is starting point where I go to work every morning, and here is too I see the dynamics of the development of an electric train in Jakarta. A similar incident happened to almost every station in Jakarta, but the station UI, there is a story of its own, just stick around to find out.

Free space on top of the train

While you prefer to have free air conditioner on top of the train, I will lull you to sleep with a tickling story quoted form my other blog: Mr. Nurman learns tickle your fancy. Once upon the time Katy Perry would like to be on top of the train to tickle you so that you don't get bored. Britney Spears would like to sign a concert contract to sing there on the free catwalk on top of the train and Arnold Schwarzenegger think about beating Rambo Sylvester Stallone to entertain you all guys. But I believe you won't sleep. A high-voltage electricity above your head may make you stay awake, warriors! Whew, more than Rambo or Terminator's guts!
