Jakarta remains messy

Jakarta remains messy

From Warta Kota

Jakarta is known to be the center of virtually everything in the country. It has also been proclaimed as a service city. Unfortunately, the messy condition of the city remains unaltered. Take public transportation, for example. The city administration has many plans to improve this sector, ranging from the introduction of a busway and a monorail to the import of used buses from Japan.

While all the plans are encouraging, the reality is discouraging. The public has to accept the messy condition of public transportation in the city.

Obviously, transportation is only one of the problems now plaguing Jakarta. When will Jakarta really become a service city and a center of everything in this country? Only time will tell.
