Should old cars be
banned from city?

From Media Indonesia

The plan to reduce traffic congestion by banning cars
manufactured in 1990 and before from entering Jakarta is not
appropriate and will not solve the problem. Many such vehicles,
including those for public transportation, will continue to be
used in the city.

It is also impossible to reduce the number of cars in Jakarta
because automobile purchases take place every day. The fear that
old cars will have engine trouble is not rational, as the latest
models can also stall.

In my view, the most effective solution is to improve the
operation of public transportation vehicles and make them clean,
safe, comfortable and roadworthy. Subsequently, most people would
choose to use public transportation instead of private cars.
