Railway staff in Indonesia have started hanging concrete balls above train tracks in a bid to prevent commuters from riding on carriage roofs.
The first balls were installed just above carriage-height near a station outside the capital, Jakarta.
More will be put up elsewhere if they are a success.

One way of dealing with fare dodgers, foolproof, how can it fail! :eek:

I love it

I hope the balls move in the wind or if they arrange for them to always be swinging
to create a "metal pendulum" effect!

Its like a real-life version of wipeout!
Now, if an enterprising individual could organise CCTV,
surely there is a betting opportunity for a gambler - i put 20 Indonesian rupiah on yer man, second from the left to be knocked off at the next "fence".
