The Deadlock - A serious threat for Jakarta. This morning, my journey to office was pretty bad. Ouch! Everyday I take train to the office because if I take the bus, I will probably arrive office after lunch. Haha, I do mean it. The train problem was the signal issue. That the major problem, recently! Huah! Jakarta nowadays is worst, in terms of traffic. I actually don't know how to be blamed. The government or the people? It seems the government tried many ways to solve this problem but you know, it's not easy. In Jakarta, the jet-set people are having cars and motorbike just like having cellphone. Hmm, weird. But I also do understand why they do that, the public transportation are no longer comfort, safe an even clean. Thief and ( I guess) the sexual harassment are the major points why people refuse to use public transportation. And also, in Indonesia, you will find so many dealers offer the vehicle loan with an interesting installation scheme. The funniest thing I ever read was "one of CEO of Japanese company came to Indonesia to attend the meeting. He got stuck in the traffic jam at Cengkareng then he decided to cancel the meeting and went back to Japan". I can say that 80% - 90 % of Indonesians love to ride the motorbike to do the activity, especially in Jakarta. And that is the major factor of the traffic jam, i guess. The Japanese gov feel responsible for that incident somehow because Since Japanese is the biggest motor bike manufacturer, of course most of us buy the units from them. Ah, in the second thought, they have nothing to do with it anyway. The gov just should set up the regulation to monitor the number of vehicles, either car and motor bike which is possible to be owned for each person in Indonesia. According to Detik news at Nov 9th, 2013, The Deadlock is a threat for Jakarta if the local gov can't control it. We do hope that Jakarta will run the MRT project soon because "the busway" project seems not working very well. For now, train is the best option for me and some other people who live in Bogor, Depok, Serpong and Bekasi to reach Jakarta. Pack the buses will be the worst decision if you are staying in Jakarta and plan to go somewhere. Me and the rest of Jakarta people do hope that the traffic jam will be reduced away soon. Spend almost 6 hours on the way to/from the activity point is kinda wasting time and inefficient. What is the major problem you are facing in the daily activities?
