Pasar Minggu more chaotic

Pasar Minggu more chaotic

From Pelita

The market area on Jl. Raya Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, is becoming increasingly chaotic as public transportation vehicles and street vendors occupy the entire road around the market area.

So traffic jams are common in this area, from whichever direction you come from. Buses pick up and drop off passengers anywhere they feel like it around the market area, instead of at the bus terminal.

The question is why do the local traffic police allow this chaotic situation to continue. Should we suspect that they are colluding with the drivers of the public transportation vehicles so that the latter can simply ignore all the traffic signs?

Regrettably, the Pasar Minggu district chief has never been serious in trying to put things in order in his territory. Should we also suspect that he and the district administration are also in collusion with the street vendors in the area, so that the latter can safely occupy the area, which is legally off-limits for any trade.

A few years ago, the area around Pasar Minggu was orderly. Today all of that is history.
