The train is late... Okay, tha's nothing new. Last month I went to Bandung by 9.30 AM Parahyangan. It was over an hour late.

Today I found an even worse case of lateness than above. Half an hour ago, I arrived in front of the ticket booth in UI Station, Depok. There's this schedule of the departure time of Pakuan Express train from UI station, both towards Bogor and Jakarta.

According to that schedule, there was a train to Jakarta on 10.15 (not quite sure if it's 10 or 10.05 or 10.15) and the next train is around 1 o'clock (give or take half an hour). The clock on the wall behind the ticket officer shows that it was nearly 10.50. I naturally assume that I am late for the 10 o'clock-ish train. So I bought the economy ticket for the worse-than-economy-patchetic-is-more-likely train to Jakarta. Then I went to buy some stationary while waiting for the eco-pathetic to arrive.

Then an express train came. And STOPPED on the station. Please do note that it was almost 11 at this point, probably more.

This meant that the d@mn EXPRESS train was almost 45 minutes late.

That also meant that I COULD HAVE been on that train and not having to suffer the eco-pathetic.

And, guess what, that's not the worst that happened. The worst was that after the express, half an hour passed without any of the eco-pathetic to jakarta passed, several not-stopping express, and many (express n eco likewise) to Bogor.

That was majorly sucks.


Right now I' seriously considering taking a cab to my office. Fu€k the sentimentality. I don't care if I won't a taste of Indonesia train for the next 3 years. I am SO sick of trains.
