City transportation an ordeal

City transportation an ordeal

From Berita Buana

As a new comer to Jakarta, I feel miserable. I find it awfully difficult to use public transportation here. Even if you wish to take a taxi, you have to wait hours to get one. The situation is even worse for my children. They have to run after the bus while it is still in motion in order to get themselves aboard. And they often have to stand on the door sill of the bus because every inch of space inside is full.

Oh my God! Why do we have to face all these inconveniences? In our hometown in the province life is much more peaceful. I'm tempted to retire soon if this condition continues indefinitely. I am always anxious about my children traveling.
