Bikun Salvage

Next to The Water Tower, near The Balairung, there's a place hidden from many eyes. It's where they put old Bikun. Bikun stands for Bis Kuning (The Yellow bus), the common term using in University of Indonesia.For years, these Bikun have been traveling from in to out campus to deliver students. They improve a lot since the first time I ride them.It was 4 years ago when I impatiently waiting for Bikun to pass by. It's like once in 2 hours? Well, it was a hard time.Around time when I was about to graduate in 2008, UI added more Bikun and replaced the old ones. Well, they can not compared with these new busses who's made by the same manufacture who produced Garuda Indonesia's busses.

The new busses make changes. They drive more often so we don't have to wait long in the Bus Stop. They even have a bus schedule at the stop. Amazing! *I didn't get the chance to enjoy it, then*
I pass Bus no.18 today. It had its peak moment. At my time, it was the most popular bus, because it's spacious and the driver loved playing funky music. Now, it's standing her, dirty. So sad.



So, what about these busses in the salvage. They're old and rusty, but if they're kept like this, they'll become rotten easily. I think Mr. Goemilar should make a proper place for them, or even put them in a museum, UI MUSEUM !
