   A little amused by this reaction video by Indonesians because I didn't think this was such an extraordinary thing 😅. But yes, most of the time Malaysians do queue up properly for the Lrt. I am not sure why. It sure if wasnt like that in the past. I was using minibuses back in the day and we weren't that civilized 😅

     @liztai@hachyderm.io the most amusing thing to me is, this wasn't the case when I was small. Public transportation is the major/primary way for me to move around for the majority of my life and I totally could see the gradual shift towards these better behaviours such as queueing, even the practice of standing on the left side of the escalator and making room for people who'd like to climb on the right - despite this not actually being enforced at all. I'd like to know how this happened but I'm glad it's more and more of a norm now.

     @koakuma Ok, deploying the marines?? Hard core, man.

     But I don't understand how getting rid of paper tickets got them to behave 😅

     @irfan @liztai Dweller from the other side here, only commenting on Jabodetabek region since it's the one I'm most familiar with, but here it took them deploying the Marines and getting rid of paper tickets to finally get people to behave :akkoderp:

     I'd say that the situation is so much better compared to the pre-2011 "dark ages", but still many improvements could be made (at least physically; a lot of the station infrastructure dates back to the Dutch era and haven't been properly upgraded to work well with modern rapid transit-style operation they are being subjected to... see, for example, the hillariously narrow platforms of Tanah Abang station, you can't queue properly even if you want to!)

     But yeah, work is being done and overall I feel cautiously optimistic, despite the occassional drama, haha
