Crowded Pasar Minggu

Crowded Pasar Minggu

From Republika

As a public transportation user, I am glad to see the successful measures taken by South Jakarta administration to curb street vendors at the Pasar Minggu bus terminal soon after the Idul Fitri holiday was over. The traffic looked neat and smooth.

Unfortunately, this did not last long as things are now back to where they were before. There are traffic jams around Pasar Minggu and Jl. Raya Ragunan. Vendors are everywhere along the street.

Being very crowded, only one of the four lanes can be used for public transportation. The congestion extends to the Ramayana department store and further, to Pasar Minggu public hall. Surprisingly, the traffic jam occurs right in front of the local police office.

Also, an unpleasant smell spreads everywhere. We can smell this at the three intersections toward the bus terminal. It comes from garbage. How come, Mr. Mayor? When will we enjoy an orderly and comfortable situation again?
