muppets again, this time they reopened an old line in the city centre, but forgot to tell anyone, so first day they sold 12 tickets.

Govt launches new train to reduce Jakarta traffic JAKARTA (JP): The government launched a new train Friday as part of efforts to reduce traffic jams in the capital city.
The new train, named the Ciliwung Blue Line, travels from Manggarai to Sudirman, Karet, Tanah Abang, Duri, Angke, Kampung Bandang, Kemayoran, Pasar Senen, Kramat, Jatinegara and back.
The train fare is a flat rate of only Rp 3,500 (38 U.S. cents) during the promotional period before being set at a normal price of Rp 5,000.
"This is an idea Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo proposed to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in a recent meeting to reduce heavy traffic jams in the city," City Secretary Ritola Tasmaya said after leading the train's official opening.
Existing trains have only served routes from Jakarta to neighboring cities like Bogor, Tangerang and provincial cities such as Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya and Yogyakarta
