TRANSPORTATION AND ROAD

In Jakarta, there are networks of roads and highways that serve the entire city, but the development of the car with the number of road is very lame (5-10% with 4-5%).

According to data from the Department of Transportation Capital City, the region recorded 46 points with 100 intersections prone jam in Jakarta. Definition is prone to traffic flow is unstable, low-speed and long lines. In addition to the citizens of Jakarta, congestion is also exacerbated by commuters from surrounding cities such as Depok, Bekasi, Tangerang, and Bogor who working in Jakarta. For in the city, congestion can be seen in Sudirman Street, Thamrin Street, Rasuna Said Street, Satrio Street, and Gatot Subroto Street. Congestion often occurs in the morning and evening, ie during office hours to go and come home.

To serve the mobility of people in Jakarta, the government provides a means of PPD bus. There are also city buses run by private parties, such as Mayasari Bhakti, Metro Mini, Kopaja, and Bianglala. These buses serve the routes that connect the terminals in the city, among others Pulogadung, Kampung Rambutan, Block M, Kalideres, Grogol, Tanjung Priok, Lebak Bulus, Rawamangun, and Kampung Melayu.

For the transport environment, there is public transportation like Mikrolet and KWK, with routes from the neighborhood terminal to terminal. There are also motorcycles, bajaj, and bemo to transport over short distances. Unlike other areas in Jakarta who uses a motorcycle, at the Tanjung Priok and Jakarta Kota, motorcycle riders to use bicycle. Pedicab transport is often found in areas such as the outskirts of Jakarta in Jakarta, Tangerang and Depok.
In the busy hours, the existing road in Jakarta could no longer operate normally. Normal range is usually taken within 15 minutes, then in the rush hour distance can be traveled for 1-2 hours. Many people who are stressed by the circumstances.

The need for road infrastructure in Jakarta is very urgent, but the narrowness of Jakarta, could no longer be built on the normal road surface. One way is to make its way underground. Another possibility could also be built elevated road above existing roads.
