VIVAnews - A high-ranking official at state-run railway PT Kereta Api, Ahmad Sujadi, said five train passengers had been killed in a number of accidents taking place between January 1 and February 14, 2012.
"In one month and a half, five men had been dead while seven others seriously injured," he said. "The Bekasi route witnessed the death of two and the Bogor route saw three passengers had been killed."
Commuters have been opting in for trains to reach and leave Jakarta in efforts to seek for cheaper and faster means of transportation. Packed train cars have resulted in more riders crowding train roof.
Sujadi said the company plans to add more cars to accommodate the rising number of passengers.
Indonesia has tried just about everything to keep passengers from clamoring atop trains that crisscross its main island of Java: spraying them with paint guns, calling in sniffer dogs, and asking for help from Muslim clerics.
After concrete balls and brooms covered in putrid gunk failed to deter fare-dodging commuters from riding on the roofs of train cars, the state railway company is beefing up its deterrence yet again — this time with iron bars.
