Let's Move
Have you ever known a place fulfilled by many not proper transport modes? A place where the street forced us to be much inpatient, a city turned the politesse people to a rude one. Jakarta commonly known as the sister city of Indonesia, a much grown city turn it composition from a hand count high buildings to hundred skyscrapers. Claimed as an urban friendly, this metropolitan applied a mob rule in almost each part of its life. Traditional toward primitive transportation system spread across Jakarta. Metro Mini, Kopaja, Mayasari Bakti, Bianglala, and whatever it named for me are such feasible to operate in a place demand it citizen to be such mobile. Busway with its Trans Jakarta is overrated and even overload on each armada. Using Trans Jakarta means spend some of your time waiting the bus to come. Private vehicle such as motorcycle has passed it optimal number and it amounts is on the way saturate. Cars amount show a same trend. It obviously necessary to be so much patient to drive car in Jakarta. Peak hours in the morning and evening toward night always make you stuck in your car for a long long traffic jam.
For me as a cyclist that do what it call bike to work, Jakarta is such a hell that turn heaven only on Sunday held Car Free Day. Motorized vehicle and their flue gas much annoying and felt so dangerous for bicycle user.Unfeasible bus only excrete dangerous flue gas that fused on my oxygen. For daily using, bicycle is not recommended, even I do disobey this rule.
So when the bus, the motorbike, the car, the bicycle, or even walking on foot is uncomfortable, there's no other reason to stay here for more. Moving on the other so called developed city like Denpasar, Makassar, Malang, or Mataram is heard good. Let's move.
