Traffic Jam

Being stuck in a traffic jam has become one of many citizens’ routines. For example, in Jakarta, people often have to make an hour trip for a distance that actually just takes less than 15 minutes without traffic jam. Some international magazines even put Jakarta in their list of the top ten cities which have the heaviest traffic jam in the world. There are so many reasons why should people suffer

traffic jam almost every day.

Uncontrolled city growth is one of the most major factors that cause a traffic jam. So many people live together in a city, which directly influence the population of personal vehicle. The traffic jam is caused by the imbalance of the personal vehicle population growth and the road length growth. Inadequate public transport facilities also support the traffic jam. People can not drape their daily transportation needs to the public transportation. Some of the public transportations are ready to serve but not comfortable. Some of them are comfortable but can not serve all passengers. The indiscipline of the road user is another major cause of the traffic jam. People often stop where they should not stop. They overtake another vehicle where they should not overtake. The most common thing is they park their vehicle on the road, not on the parking area. This led to a heavy traffic jam.

In conclusion, unless they don’t want to be free from traffic jam, people should decrease their ego level. People should use public transportation more often and being wise and discipline on the road.
