In addition, the high ticket price is not comparable to the quality of the services provided, it is also widely highlighted," wrote Netray in its report on February 24, 2023.
Twitter activists also seem to appreciate the existence of subsidized trains on several routes such as the Ciamis-Jakarta route train which helps the community. As for other areas such as in Madura, they hope that the reactivation of the train line will be realized so that it can suppress the burden of road transportation.
During the monitoring period Netray, bus keywords were at least mentioned in 16.7 thousand tweets, which were dominated by negative tweets. The number of impressions on this topic reached 154.2 thousand and has the potential to reach 145.8 million Twitter user accounts.

As transportation that reaches various areas both within and outside the city, buses become easy to find accommodation. In some areas, even buses become a mode of transportation within cities that people rely on, such as TransJakarta and TransJogja.
According to Twitter activists, as a city transportation, buses are useful for reducing the risk of congestion, especially trans buses that have their own lanes. However, sometimes users still feel annoyed with the bus's too full conditions and traffic jams that are still unavoidable.
They argue that the government should intensify the development of public transportation with even more excitable services, so that people are more interested in using public transportation than private transportation.
"Achieved prices and more available tickets are an alternative for people to choose buses over trains. In addition, of course, comfort and calm factors are a priority for users of public transportation," said Netray.
Other public transportation that has become a lot of talk is the KRL or commuter line. This train with flyover or underground type can carry up to 2,000 passengers with electric power sources over the train.

This then sparked a crime of sexual harassment as seen from several events reported by Twitter activists in his tweet.
In addition to the risk of harassment at KRL, KRL passengers in Jakarta also complain about transit policies that make it difficult for passengers.

"However, for local communities, MRT and LRT have high prices so that this high-speed rail project is offered more in the Capital City area," wrote Netray.
Compared to other public transportation, angkot is the type that is easy to find in various regions. The existence of public transportation has been longer and has become a mainstay accommodation for the community at its time.
