Is Jakarta destined to be jammed forever, or does the city have an alternative? “Motorcycle taxis kill public transport,” says Yoga Adiwinarto, country director of ITDP-Indonesia, the local branch of the non-profit Institute for Transportation and Development Policy. Jakarta’s ageing Commuter Line trains make the journey from Bogor to the city centre in 55 minutes – twice as fast as the car. But is there a faster way to transform public transport in the city? That makes it difficult for public transport because there isn’t the coverage.
