School vacation and traffic

School vacation and traffic

From Media Indonesia

My job requires me to travel about Jakarta on the toll-roads
and the small streets of the villages. I enjoy my work provided
the traffic is smooth. However, traffic jams have always made me
uncomfortable.

I found that during the long school vacation, the traffic was
smooth and convenient. It seems that school days are a factor in
traffic congestion because many private vehicles or family cars
travel the roads and take up space during rush hours.

The authorities should think over the matter and try to
overcome the problem of congestion. The role of school buses
needs to be enhanced by intensifying their use and consistently
keeping them to their designated routes.
