Starved, Train Passengers Stuck 12 Hours as Rails Ambles Wholesale Cilok

BANDUNG, KOMPAS.COM – Suparno, reminiscing about the events of last weekend when the train was stuck for 12 hours at Jeruklegi Station because the tracks had collapsed, Saturday (8/10/2022).
We were traveling from Yogyakarta-Bandung, suddenly stopped at Jeruklegi Station because there was a scratch around 1 oclock in the morning, said one of the passengers, Suparno when contacted by Kompas.com, Monday (10/10/2022).
From the information he obtained, there were three subsidence points, namely Km 367+6/7, Km 372+400, and Km 392+8/7 plots of the Sikampuh-Maos road.

 

HUNGRY UNTIL THE TOILET WAS OUT
Because the train stopped at night, he and his group chose to sleep. New before Fajr one by one his friends got up and discussed what occur.
By morning, he and some of his friends were getting hungry. They come down from the train to find food outside the station. They have breakfast too in a shop.
There are those who sell satay, porridge, fried foods. If you want complete, you have to go to market. If you walk (to the market) its quite far, its better to use an ojeg, said this West Bandung resident.
7 hours have passed and no sign of the scratch repair is complete. There are more passengers who come to the shop.
Likewise, a number of merchants began to arrive as soon as they found out there was a train who stopped. In just 1-2 hours, their food runs out.
Even Suparno seemed to be a tour guide . It shows where the passengers have to leave if they want to get certain foods.
There are women who deliberately take ojeg to the market to buy food. I also become a food supplier for my friends (who dont can get off the train), he said.
