4-in-1 to solve jams?
4-in-1 to solve jams?
From Kompas
After a long stressful day at the office, Jakarta citizens
still have to face traffic jams when they are going home for no
apparent reason, despite the 3-in-1 rule for private cars on
certain roads.
One can witness how the jams have affected not only
conventional roads but even also toll roads, so that road users
have to queue up before they can pay tolls and enter freeways.
In my observation, the congestion is the result of the
presence of too many private cars and the operation of public
transportation vehicles that are no longer roadworthy.
If the 3-in-1 rule is less effective, should the requirement
be toughened up to become 4-in-1? Or it may be necessary to
restrict private car ownership based on the size of a family.
Personally I support the Transjakarta busway transport because
it has proven to be effective. I suggest that busway routes be
further expanded without delay.
