DIS celebrates new toll road

INDONESIA: Celebrating the completion of the Jl. Ampera toll road
connecting South Jakarta to Tangerang, the German International
School (Deutsche Internationale Schule, DIS) will hold a
motorcade on Sunday along the new highway.

The toll road was completed on May 5.

The school says the toll road will help DIS students avoid the
annoying traffic congestion along Jl. Deplu Raya to reach the
campus in Bumi Serpong Damai that has plagued them for eight
years.

"During those years, DIS students (collectively) spent a total
of 380,000 hours, or 43 years, stuck in traffic jams. Now, we are
all grateful because it now takes only 12 minutes," the school
management said.

Motorists are invited to join the motorcade. The feast
afterwards at the school compound will only be for school
management, students and parents. -- JP
