Street Banditos is a small group of Street Photography Enthusiast which based in Jakarta. Our concern is to documenting and tell the story about Jakarta reality including Jakarta’s environment,

people, society, condition, etc.

At the end of 2012 Street Banditos organized an epic “runaway” which called by “Railways Runaway”. Railways Runaway is a photo journey which done by 10 Banditos and 5 friends around Banditos (FAB), Railways Runaway was done using railways from Manggarai (Jakarta) to Bogor (West Java), this is our runaway to escape from 2012 into a better future in 2013.

This is the summary about our last project in 2012 to documenting urban living in Jakarta and Bogor which live near the railways and around the train stations, hopefully this project can be an inspiring thing for people to make some documentary project and do some storytelling about our environment, about people around us, about our city, about something that affect us, and about everything that inspired us.

At last Street Banditos would say thank you very much for every people and community which always supporting and inspiring us, for every appreciation which Street Banditos get until today, for all critics and advices which make Street Banditos growing better, also for every people which had been downloading this project.

We love you all..

Jakarta, 18 January 2013Best Regards,

One of the city closest to

the Jakarta Capital Region is Bogor.

With the distance about 60 Kms, Bogor is the one of the city that had a function as the Jakarta’s buffer. Many public transport links between Jakarta and Bogor, one of it is the railways. On January 30th 2012, StreetBanditos and FAB (Friends Around Banditos) try to explore the train stations including the areas between and around the stations along Jakarta and Bogor.

With FAB

The journey start from Manggarai Railway Station

at 07.00 am. The weather was nice, made us more excited

and pumped to make the great runaway and the

great escape from 2012 into 2013. The team was

split into two groups, the Street Team and the Banditos Team.

Each team get different tasks to documenting two different stations which exist between

Jakarta and Bogor.

We spent almost 2 hours while exploring the area near the Bogor Station. Our circumstances in Bogor was different with the journey that we do in the last stations, weary face and sweat which

dripped down was accompany us within the journey along the way in Bogor. But at least, our fatigue were paid by a satisfaction that felt by every person which do this runaway. Great friends, great shot, great city make this journey as a memorable thing to documenting the urban living in

the small areas along Jakarta and Bogor.

Finally we heading back to Jakarta using the same train. Bring back to home all of jokes and laughters. Remembering this journey into memories, the great memories at
