Commuters standing in the doorways of a train and sitting on its roof, are seen as they travel to work in the capital Jakarta November 10, 2011. Indonesia's economy has shown strong growth this year, but failure to improve a stifling bureaucracy, to end wasteful subsidies and to systematically curb graft, could derail a growth story that has made resource-rich Indonesia into Southeast Asian's sweet spot. Doubts are growing that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono can deliver on promised reforms that improve creaky infrastructure and creating higher-value jobs for the young in the world's fourth most populous country.

A friend of mine said: " If one goes to visit another country & sees 3 Wheelers, he knows at once, the the country is a 3rd world nation" . This train ride is another aspect of 3rd world status. No advanced country would one see anything like this on public transport.
