Hundreds of volunteers equipped with gloves and surgical masks have set off to clean train coaches and stations here on Saturday.
The Citi Indonesia and PT. KAI-sponsored event, aimed aimed at increasing civic involvement in public transportation, were presided by Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo and American Ambassador to Indonesia, Cameron R. Hume.
"We hope that citizens will put more concern on the cleanliness of public transportation, especially trains." Citi Indonesia Country Manager Shariq Muchtar said, as quoted by kompas.com.
Fauzi Bowo also said the city would increasingly depend on trains as a mode of transportation, hence necessitating maintenance.
The program also covered seven other stations in Jakarta, Jayakarta, Mangga Besar, Sawah Besar, Juanda, Gondangdia, Cikini, and Manggarai stations.
