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.
