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.
