        "summary": "Mass transit Nowadays congestion in Jakarta is horrible. Five years ago there were just peak periods with traffic jams on certain major roads. But now there is no distinction. Traffic jams can occur at 6 a.m. on a very local road in the suburbs far away from the center of the city. I hate to imagine what the traffic will be like three to five years from now. I understand that the government is planning to build a subway mass transit system along the Blok M-Kota route. That is good news!",

But now there is no distinction. Traffic jams can occur at<br>\n6 a.m. on a very local road in the suburbs far away from the<br>\ncenter of the city. I hate to imagine what the traffic will be<br>\nlike three to five years from now.<\/p>\n<p>I understand that the government is planning to build a subway<br>\nmass transit system along the Blok M-Kota route. That is good<br>\nnews! And a very good solution. But that is not enough,<br>\nespecially with the Jabotabek (Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang and<br>\nBekasi) population expected to reach more than 23 million in<br>\n2000. Jakarta needs more mass transit lines.<\/p>\n<p>I notice that the master plan also includes the east-west line<br>\nwhich stretches from Tangerang to Cakung. Why wait until the Blok<br>\nM-Kota line is finished? Why not start the Tangerang--Cakung<br>\nline? They will form a cross radial network and the network<br>\neffect is there. We should have already begun.<\/p>\n<p>I do not think the problem is about funding as foreign<br>\nconsortiums have already offered to finance the project. This<br>\nline would be more profitable than the Blok M--Kota line because<br>\nthe catchment area along the line is still developing. The<br>\ninvestor will have more opportunity to invest in property along<br>\nthe line rather than Blok M--Kota line that is already developed.<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta is already left behind, and the congestion has<br>\noccurred in front of our homes.<\/p>\n<p>CORRY<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
