Traffic solution?

Traffic solution?

From Bisnis Indonesia

Traffic congestion is an everyday thing in Jakarta, where the number of motorized vehicles increases by seven percent to 10 percent annually.

In an attempt to overcome this problem, the Jakarta administration has been building a number of underpasses across the city.

Given the high cost of the construction of these underpasses -- Rp 28 billion for the one on Jl. Pramuka, for example -- we may wonder whether this is really the right way to ease traffic congestion.

It must also be borne in mind that it may take about a year to complete on underpass, so they may instead cause more congestion instead.
