Train to Apocalypse participants, while waiting for the Jakarta LRT at North Boulevar Station, Kelapa Gading, East Jakarta, on Friday (12/8/2022) afternoon.

Every passenger at the station platform to a Jakarta LRT (light rail transit) train carriage fled from the zombie ambush. Unbeknownst to the others, some had already been “devoured” by the zombies. Weirdly, however, everyone was satisfied and happy.

The three bloodied and wounded zombies kept walking and limping along. The creatures -- mythological animated corpses associated with the belief in voodoo, originating from West African supernatural folklore -- continued to rush forward as 11 people turned frantic in the confines of a building at the Velodrome LRT station, East Jakarta.
