Kekacauan Thunderbird: Penumpang Asing Serang Kondektur Sebelum Penerbangan Terakhir

Mar 19 (News On Japan) - Thunderbird ekspres terbatas telah menyelesaikan perjalanan terakhirnya, namun bukan tanpa kontroversi, setelah seorang warga asing tertangkap tanpa tiket yang sah, yang berujung pada perkelahian dengan kondektur.

Pada tanggal 14, sehari sebelum perjalanan terakhir, para penggemar yang sedang menikmati perjalanan terakhir mereka berada di dalam kereta. Namun, ada pengumuman bahwa ada "penyelidikan polisi karena insiden di dalam kereta" sebelum mencapai Stasiun Tsuruga, sehingga menyebabkan kegemparan di antara para penumpang.

Seorang penumpang yang mengalami masalah tersebut mengatakan, "Ada petugas polisi yang naik ke kereta, dan seorang penumpang asing dikepung oleh polisi."

Menurut JR West, seorang penumpang asing yang sedang tidur di kursi tanpa tiket ekspres terbatas dihampiri oleh kondektur. Tiba-tiba, orang asing tersebut mendorong kondektur. Kejadian ini menyebabkan kereta berhenti selama sekitar 40 menit, yang mengakibatkan keterlambatan untuk kereta berikutnya.

Seorang penumpang yang menyaksikan kejadian tersebut berkomentar, "Saya berharap orang asing itu naik kereta dengan pemahaman yang benar tentang peraturan. Karena ini adalah perjalanan terakhir, saya ingin kejadian ini berakhir dengan baik. Itu adalah tindakan yang tidak bisa dimaafkan."

Dengan diperpanjangnya Shinkansen Hokuriku, operasi Thunderbird antara Kanazawa dan Tsuruga secara resmi berakhir.
