People are the real threat now. -Rick
That is a quote from an
American Popular TV Series, Walking Dead. This show told about people who
awakens from a months-long coma to confront a new, apocalyptic world overrun by
flesh-eating zombies. Zombies, mostly referred to in-universe as walkers,
roamers, lurkers, geeks, or biters, are an antagonistic force that serve as the
primary catalyst for the events within The Walking Dead universe. They serve as
universal antagonists.
While in Jakarta, if we observe
the activities during the rush hour, we will see people look like zombies. A commuter
survey has revealed that 2.43 million commuters travel within, into and out of
the city daily. Although Jakarta is home to 10.1 million people in the evening,
the number of commuters boosts the capital’s population to 11.2 million people
during the day (Central Statistics Agency, BPS-2015). Here it is, Jakarta’s
Walking Dead.
