Concrete balls: Indonesia takes extreme measures to stop fare-dodgers - AOL Travel UK: "Authorities in Indonesia have taken extreme measures to stop commuters from illegally riding on the roofs of trains - by suspending concrete balls from train lines which can knock out anyone who gets in the way.



The Indonesian rail network has been struggling for years with increasing passenger numbers. Commuters often ride on the roof simply to avoid the overcrowded carriages, although it is also a popular tactic for avoiding paying fares. Many also "roof surf" simply for the thrill of it."
