Subway needed for big city<\/p>\n
The number of motorized vehicles in large cities seems to be
\nincreasing faster than the number of roads. As a result traffic
\nis becoming increasingly congested in Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang
\nand Surabaya. The traffic jams have become virtually
\nunmanageable.<\/p>\n
Construction plans for a subway system in Jakarta are now
\nunder careful consideration. The problem that crops up in our
\nmind now concerns the number of vehicles that will continue to
\nincrease while the construction is underway. The authorities must
\nanticipate their impact, especially in regards to the most
\ncongested part of the city around the Blok M - Jakarta Kota
\n(downtown) area.<\/p>\n
Theoretically, traffic will be relieved once construction of
\nthe subway is finished. Yet a number of requirements must be met
\nin order for the subway to be an effective means of alternative
\ntransportation. They are, among other things, an adequate number
\nof subway cars, precise departure and arrival times, convenience,
\nsafety and reasonable fares.<\/p>\n
