Can They Make It Better???

My biggest concern about my hometown Jakarta today are FLOOD,TRAFFIC. Jakarta had already have new govenor, but, the problems still remain, nothing change, infact getting worst.

A. Flood. In the year of 2007, jakarta flooded really bad. Almost all parts of Jakarta floaded, and the water high was atleast 30 cm high. All access street & main road closed, due to major flood.

There were some reason for this flood, such as:

1. The east cannal drainase wasnt never finished. (or they never start contructed it, only GOD knows). The Are already too many MALLS, too few trees, and not enough of infiltrate area so The rains cant find its way to the the river or sea.

2.A lots of unmanage garbages, spread in the rivers and drainase area. I dont know why local governor never pay attention of the garbages problems. Most of it, the disipline of societys and neighboringhood are so low interm of dumping the garbages.

B. Traffic.

Oh my god, this problem causes stress everywhere. Almost all parts of jakarta's streets are Traffic. Except, if you live in a small alley, and never get out of your house for the rest of your life.Causes of this traffic problem are:

1. Public transportation users and driver has no sense of disipline. The driver just pick up the passagers on spot anywhere they see one. No certain place, even in the middle of the road. Dont care about other road users or whoever.

The principles of " the customers are king" had drived into the wrong understanding or meanings. By adoption of this principles, the drives seems to get all the ways to get costumers, without minding that all road users had the same right on the roads.

And the passangers think why should they wait in the allowed places or bus stop if any place "allowed" to stop the bus.

This combination of undisipline make the traffic get worst and worst. And I mean worst, that include the part of police who cant do the fuctions properly.

Moreless, if there are some road constructions, the local government never monitor it, how fast it will be finished. Those are reasons I think gave major contributions to traffic.

How about other reason???
