City traffic

City traffic

From Neraca

Traffic is a burden on all Jakartans. Is the city administration (DKI Jaya) doing anything about it?

Automobiles carrying fewer than three passengers cannot enter Sudirman/Thamrin boulevards from 6:30 to 10 a.m.. (It is incomprehensible that this rule exists on Saturday when the administration itself closes its offices on that day.) The city's attempt to reduce traffic has been foiled by the youngsters offering to make up for passenger shortages.

City bus services are inadequate, which does not encourage citizens to switch from personal vehicles to public transport. Will the possible increase in bus fares be accompanied by improved services?

The water company (PAM), the electricity company (PLN) and the telephone company (Telkom) take turns planting their pipes and cables, causing more congestion with their digging.

The city must be aware of these things if they are ever to make the city less stressful.

RACHMATULLAH
