Commuting Routine

Almost every day, I commute to work by train... the infamous KRL. 

As many know, it's always crowded because countless people rely on trains for their daily commute. 

I simply can't endure a total of two hours or more riding a motorcycle to and from work. Maybe I'm not built for it, or perhaps I've found better ways to use my commuting time.

You might guess what I do: reading. Unlike riding a motorcycle or driving a car, where you need to focus entirely on the road, train commuting frees up mental space.

Having a chauffeur or personal driver might offer similar benefits, but that's not an option for most of us.

I can read many things during my commute: fiction or nonfiction books, documents, regulations, and yes, even social media! 

Although scrolling isn't my preferred activity while commuting. 

There's also the benefit of walking. Commuting by train naturally increases daily physical activity: taking stairs, moving between platforms, catching trains. These steps add up to meaningful weekly exercise minutes.

I'm hopeful about future infrastructure developments, particularly MRT Phase 4, which will connect Fatmawati to Kampung Rambutan and include a station at Tanjung Barat. 

This route is currently in the feasibility study stage, and expanding public transportation networks would significantly improve urban mobility.
