They don't help but they should not take full blame.<BR/><BR/>The gov't could begin enforcing traffic laws. The reckless nature of cyclists on Jakarta's streets lend to generalized anziety and slower traffic.<BR/><BR/>The real blight on Jakarta's streets are the variant buses like Kop Aja, Metro Minis, and others who have absolutely no protocol or procedure for collecting and dispensing passengers. The city should require licensing of public transport companies, prohib operations by non-licensed groups, and make manditory regulated bus stops. <BR/><BR/>The city must also regulate food venders and trash collectors who plug streets with hand carts. They must also put money into building sidewalks.<BR/><BR/>I think this would be a more logical start to sorting out Jakarta traffic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
