Jakarta does not look so hot right now, what with streets being torn left, right and center in order relieve his sore transport.

A friend recently remarked that "Jakarta could be a nice city when it is finished," to which I replied, "Oh, he's done everything right. "the yard around the city that currently spans unpleasantly through the city of banjaxed boulevards like jeans sag crack a mason is certainly not enough.

Or, as my boyfriend, you believe that the inconvenience and the current ugliness is put up with, to achieve a bright utopian future Singapore-esque (though I think my friend may have been using the lowest form of spirit in his original thesis.) Or, like me, you think that all is vanity and that multiple flyovers, metro systems and smooth new concrete abutments currently packed up will amount to nothing and ultimately prove as futile as the monorail pillars abandoned still dot Jl. HR Rasuna Said, a really suitable for transplant and general incompetence monument.

Looking on the positive side but, infrastructure ruined the country is taken very seriously by the political movers and shakers that count. For example, last week, it was reported that former model and legislator Arzetty Bilbina Setyawan the PKB party and a lieutenant colonel Rizky Indra Wijaya of Sidoarjo military command were discovered together in a hotel room rapping on vital infrastructure problems of the day. When questioned, Lieutenant Colonel Rizky insisted that the pair discussed donations to a mosque that it planned to build. Maybe he was trying to show Ms. Arzetty some preliminary prints of the house of worship in question when the pair was brutally interrupted by a phalanx of architecturally illiterate public morality referees, but who knows?

Jakarta's New MRT Subway System

New MRT subway system in Jakarta

Back to the question, though, and the new metro system of the hand of the city MRT, which is currently under construction. You might have to wait a while until you can enjoy a ride underground train, although the impressions that the stations will eventually look like artists can be found on the panels that hide MRT workers smoking cigarettes and accidentally spearing their jackhammers in the water pipes behind.

The images are indeed impressive: all bright white, sterile station concourses; smiling, well-dressed passengers; and flat screen technology. Seductive sure the imaging while Dutchman promises a future in which the city calmed, sea levels are rising and all subway tunnels that eventually opened therefore not be filled with the fragrance spray and farewell mackerel trawlers.

Skeptical I might, but would like to get on one of these babies, representing a chasm of an advance on traditional, orange preserves Metro Mini boxes on wheels almost as broad as that between a space shuttle and a horse and cart. Time will tell, but with about 4 million people to make their way to and from the city center every day in search of an honest crust, things could get awfully sweaty in the 13 stations that will eventually understand the first line of the MRT system as it runs between the Hotel Indonesia and Lebak Bulus in south Jakarta.

Some ¥ 50 billion has already been shoveled into the gaping maw of terra firma Jakarta. Hopefully this actually results in trains as opposed to BMW. God knows that the capital could use a metro system, as it remains the largest city in the world in terms of population do not have one.

Jakarta public transportation system currently encompasses a dizzying array of bemos mikrolets , Metro Minis, Kopajas, bus Transjakarta, taxis, ojek and an existing overground rail commuter. Unfortunately, the fact remains that a mere 56 percent of trips are made through these corny variously wheels. This is a very low count of public transport for the kind of modern, low-calorie, friendly conurbation Wi-Fi Jakarta who aspires to be (unfortunately it is fanciful illusion).

Even worse is the fact that the annual growth rate in the number of motor vehicles Strolling along in traffic at peak hours at an average speed of 7 km / h is a staggering $ 9.5 percent. This is not particularly well against a cumulative increase of 0.01 percent of the   length of the road from the capital in recent years.

The Transjakarta busway, now ten years old, has always been a half-hearted solution, investment-light transportation to the woes of the city. It was never going to live up, as its exclusive routes were carved out of existing roads. Indeed, the system is looking increasingly Ragged these days and most of the buses are so poorly maintained that they seem to be held together by tape and glue, and, moreover, seem to be burst into flames with alarming frequency.

Meanwhile, the busway lanes are often harmed by private cars in Jakarta and motorcycle drivers, which generally all of the discipline and the public retention of mind of a lab rat repeatedly pushing a lever that delivers an electric shock directly to the pleasure center of his brain lean. Indeed, I installed a beautiful text message last week from a fellow scribbler, which reads: "What is the [Anglo-Saxon swearword] point of a [Anglo-Saxon swearword] -ing -ing busway lane if it is packed with cars special? Polda Even in the face! [The city’s police headquarters]. Sledgehammer and gun approach needed as shock therapy when the cops can not do [slang word for faecal matter]. "

I must admit here, however, that I am sin, Father. Indeed, my own office and Mampang path between the upper end of Jl. Rasuna Said rH implies a spirited bike ride full skin along the busway lane. In my defense, your honor, I would like to say to the court of public opinion that I do not take the bus, as I really can steam along faster than they do, as I do not have to stop Busway shelters to pick up passengers. Although I did try that once, just to distract me (oh, I'm so bored). Alas, nobody believed a go on my crossbar. Story of my life really.

I can now do this trip in 15 minutes is a good day Lance Armstrong-ing along the streets of the city. This is faster than a motorcycle, like the cops, forcing whiteys very big nose on pushbikes are more likely to put you in an iron coffin with spikes on the inside if they catch you on the busway sacred asphalt a Honda.

Anyway, good luck out there people, and to check the next time I will take a look at new transport services on the basis of applications, the city.
