Night transportation<\/p>\n
From Jayakarta<\/p>\n
As a Jakarta resident, I was really happy when newspaper
\nreports said that the city administration confirmed its plan to
\noperate public transport at night. It is because currently the
\nnumber of public buses which operate late at night is limited,
\nincluding the number of those which ply the downtown area.<\/p>\n
Even at around 9 p.m. hardly any public buses are seen
\noperating. Only taxis are available in considerable number after
\nthat hour and during the very late hours. But to the low income
\npeople who need cheap transportation it becomes a problem.<\/p>\n
In fact, it is ironical that Jakarta, which is the country's
\ncapital city, is not supported by public buses late at night.
\nBesides, this city, as it is widely known, never sleeps.<\/p>\n
Those who have their own cars, or the rich, have nothing to
\ncomplain about. The wealthy can take taxis. But the fare of taxis
\nis unaffordable to the majority of residents.<\/p>\n
