Pulogadung terminus

From Media Indonesia

Traffic congestion at the Pulogadung bus terminus in East Jakarta is becoming worse by the day. Traffic regulations are apparently enforced but road capacity is not proportionate with traffic volumes. In order to reduce the congestion I propose the following steps:

1. The Pulogadung terminus should follow the regulations applied at the Block M terminus in Kebayoran Baru. Incoming buses only stop to unload and load passengers, then leave the terminus. No bus shall stand by for more passengers.

2. The main streets within the nearby Pulogadung Industrial Estate should be made available to public transport as an alternative, to ease the congestion at the terminus.

3. The widening of the road between Jl. Perintis Kemerdekaan and the Bekasi Regional Administration Office to eight lanes should be ready within the next two or three years. Now the public works are only tackling small stretches of the road.
