'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.
