'Bajaj' cause

'Bajaj' cause
traffic congestion

From Warta Kota

In my opinion, the traffic congestion around the Mayestic
Market/Taman Puring in South Jakarta is attributable to the
presence of bajaj (three-wheeled motorized vehicles). Many of
these vehicles wait for passengers along the sidewalks, thus
inconveniencing pedestrians.

They also drive back and forth in front of the market,
emitting a thick smoke and worsening pollution in the area. When
they turn right or left, they simply do so without considering
whether there are other vehicles around. The area has becomes
really messy traffic-wise because of the presence of these bajaj
and the unruly public buses.

There is a police station close to the area. This area, where
traffic coming from different directions converges, should
receive special attention from the police to prevent traffic
jams.
