Millions of commuters travel to and from Jakarta to work. White collar professionals, blue collar and informal workers alike descend on Jakarta each morning, having fought for a seat on one of the many commuter line trains operated by KAI Commuter Jabodetabek [KCJ].
According to a survey carried out by the Central Statistics Agency [BPS] in 2015, up to 2.43 million commuters travel to and from Jakarta on a daily basis.
They travel to the city from Bogor, Bekasi and Depok in West Java and Tangerang in Banten.
The commute is not easy; schedules can get delayed, trains have been known to derail, and tracks break. Such is the journey on the tracks.[ags]
