Task Number 4 Bahasa Inggris 2

Should governments spend more money on improving roads and highways, or should governments spend more money on improving public transportation (buses, trains, subways)? Why? Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.

Transportation problems in Jakarta is a priority mistake in planning, granting the developer both in Jakarta and Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi not followed by the development of infrastructure and public transport. So the vacancy is anticipated (private) with the provision of formal transport and other informal public transport, which indirectly increase the traffic load and congestion. It should be underlined that the Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi are independent cities are planned separately and fitted with adequate transportation infrastructure in each city (like London, Tokyo and its suburbs, or Kuala Lumpur to Putra Jaya ), in contrast to the concept of greater Jabotabek Jabotabek especially the blend.

Stems from the root of the problem of transportation in Jakarta, then a possible solution is to prioritize public transport planning, infrastructure and public transport are the main factors forming the city. Besides government policy through the addition of a long road section and will never meet the needs of a trip, the road is provided quickly will be met by a vehicle.

As a first step, and inexpensive that may be emulated by Jakarta in addressing congestion is the concept "Curitiba" where city buses get priority with the provision of dedicated bus special line so that the travel time can be shortened which in turn increase the level of public transport services. "Curitiba Foam" serving 1.3 million passengers per day, compared to 400 thousand passengers per day by KA Greater Jakarta in Jakarta (JICA, 2000). This busway concept was already not unusual and implemented in several developed countries.

Furthermore, changing the paradigm of urban planning, such as neighboring Malaysia, which has changed the concept of "Petaling Jayaâ"-like construction "Kebayoran" in the 60s, which rely perencaannya road network resulting in the use of a personal vehicle is the only option, a concept "Putra Jaya" that relies on mass public transport, although there is currently showing encouraging results, but it is not possible in the time can no longer be equated with the concept of Singapore Choa Chu Kanga who skipped SMRT (Singapore Mass Rapid Transit) and Bukit Panjang served by SLRT (Singapore Light Rail Transit) which proved successful. It should be taken into account the concept of MRT is a long-term goal, after Kuala Lumpur success with KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu) and network “baskota” a comprehensive, compare it with the concept of “City Mandiri” in Jakarta, which is a reservoir of personal vehicles are ready Jakarta traffic burden.

One thing that is often ignored in planning is short-distance transportation modes, such as non-motorized vehicles and on foot, mode of transport is often overlooked in the planning of the city, although the impact can be great, because this mode of transport can be an alternative to reduce the traffic load, according to JICA survey (2000) for the middle class to the bottom 42% of the journey still rely on non-motorized vehicles and on foot. Thus providing slow lanes and sidewalks as a means for pedestrians to be very important.

In conclusion, provision of reliable public transport and good public transport services is one of solving transportation problems in Jakarta, and possibly other major cities in Indonesia before the same problem occurred. Although we realize that the city's dynamic looks of congestion on the highway, because logically with increased revenue will be followed by an increase in the number of private vehicle ownership and the number of trips, but the public transport infrastructure procurement priorities decent and reliable, the owners of private vehicles will think two or three times to drive it.
