Congestion near Pasar Rebo

From Merdeka

I left my home in Depok at 7.30 a.m. the other day and had to endure a traffic snarl at Pasar Rebo that began at Gang Suci, Cijantung, in East Jakarta.

For long excruciating minutes, vehicles had to wait before the traffic moved up to the Pasar Rebo traffic light as the green light allows passage to only a few vehicles.

The road has not been this jammed before, even when the artery road was being constructed. People grumble everyday as they arrive very late at their destinations.

I beg the concerned ministry to give attention to balanced timing of traffic lights. As it is now, traffic snarls are growing longer and our time is wasted in these jams.
