Improve public transportation!<\/p>\n
I fully support the Jakarta governor's suggestion to abolish
\nthe three-in-one system for the basic reason that it doesn't
\nwork. Also, I do not think it would be wise to implement a
\nsticker system as it would not be fair to burden common people
\nwith that kind of fee while the current currency crisis persists.
\nThe rich, however, would be able to buy stickers, giving them the
\nprivilege to use the roads without being significantly
\nfinancially taxed. Roads are built to benefit all citizens,
\naren't they?<\/p>\n
To improve the traffic system, the quality of the public
\ntransportation system must be enhanced by providing more buses so
\nthat the waiting time at bus stops can be shorter than the
\ncurrent average of one hour. Most of the time buses are packed
\nwith commuters who must cope with arriving to work sweating and
\nexhausted. For those who can afford air-conditioned buses, the
\nconditions are better -- even standing passengers arrive at their
\ndestination still reasonably fit and fresh.<\/p>\n
If the public transportation system were to be improved, I
\nthink many people would start using public transportation instead
\nof clogging our streets with their cars as they drive alone to
\nwork or shopping centers.<\/p>\n
