JAKARTA Sunawar, a middle-aged man who earns a living at the railroad crossing (KA) Pondok Jati Station, Matraman District, East Jakarta. The 50-year-old man enjoys his job as a traffic controller at the train door. Whereas in that place, the train door at Pondok Jati Station, was very dangerous. It had gone viral on social media. Local residents know him as a maut' train crossing.
The dangerous work has been carried out by Sunawar for 20 years. He hopes for a change from road users who cross the door of the station train. But actually this is not a matter of money, but the lives of road users who need to be 'guarded'.
"Approximately 20 years as volunteers to make a living here. If it used to be just shooting, it means that in the past the road (the Pondok Jati train crossing) was destroyed (rustrated). We take care of the damaged roads first, ask for the money to use cardboard", said Sunawar to VOI, Friday, August 11.
Over time, the way to make money by repairing damaged roads at the Pondok Jati train crossing which he had been involved in for decades has changed. Now Sunawar is looking for fortune by becoming a traffic control volunteer at the railroad crossing.
Sunawar admitted that he was sincere in carrying out his job. Because, for him, only that job can support him, even though he has to risk his life. Sunawar no longer traces the train track, because now it has been repaired with new asphalt.
"Now it's a marker at the Pondok Jati crossing, it's been about 10 years," he said.

Sunawar is happy to tell the story. He said, the change from arranging the vehicle at the Pondok Jati train crossing was enough for him.
Even though he is already half a century old, therobly-haired man admits that he is grateful for the income he receives, although uncertain. He said, around Rp. 50,000, it was at least and if it was quiet.
"Not necessarily, sometimes 50-80 thousand. The biggest is 100 thousand," joked Sunawar with a small laugh. That big money was not enjoyed by him himself. Sunawar used it to support his wife and children at home.
"The important thing is enough to eat and pay rent. I signed at Kayumanis 8," concluded the father of one child.
The meeting with Sunawar was only short. He again directed himself to regulate the speed of vehicles passing at Pondok Jati Station.
Sunawar is always wary. How not, the volume of vehicles passing through the train door is very large, while the size of the door is so small.
