congestion that occurred in Jakarta (Indonesia) has reached the threshold. every day there is congestion in some areas in Jakarta, this is caused due to the number of vehicles and dense population in the city. the government made various solutions to overcome the congestion that occurred in Jakarta, such as monorail railway, busway, the imposition of three in one and others, but still can not solve the problem of 100% congestion. there are still many congestion finds in some locations. maybe you have ideas or suggestions to overcome the congestion that often happens in jakarta this?

@mukhlis79 That's nice to hear. It wasn't popular in my country though.

Congestion is often caused by drivers who change lane too often. In fact, the traffic jam in the pictures looks quite messy. There are basic road rules, right of way, stuff like that, but I know in these situations people only do what they think it's best for themselves, not for the 'community'. Big cities in Italy have congestion problems too. Some people just can't switch to better means of transportation. It's good to see there's a lane for buses, but I guess bikers need their own too, for their own safety.

I think it happens everywhere. Let's just walk then if our destination is not that far. The solution is just a choice of the one affected.
