The Seven Wonders of Jakarta Traffic

I am one of many users of Jakarta transportation, either public or private (cos I use both of them). Day after day I try to somewhat enjoy whatever condition it offers. Do you know that you can find so many wonders in the busy Jakarta traffic? I called it wonders, because it makes you wondering how in the earth it just could happen so naturally.

And after much research and observation, finally I manage to compile seven things that I call "The seven wonders of Great Jakarta traffic".

So..here they are :

1. Young, decent, polite professionals became bunch of barbarians over taking seat in busway.
2. Passengers get out of the bus in the midst of tollway
3. Public transportation just stopped in the middle of the road to let the passenger exit.
4. Minibus crews forced the passengers to move to other minibus sometimes 2 times in a row in one route, and that minibus just casually return back to its previous stop.
5. To cut someone's lane is the normal way to drive
6. The local government extended the road lane, only to narrow it again at the end of extended lane.
7. People lining at the exit of tollway expecting customers of "3 in one" rules.

Well ,I believe there are more wonders of Jakarta traffic. They are not the wonders that I can honestly admire. But, I would do whatever I can to remove them one by one.

What I can do now :

• Line up nicely in busway stop
• Do not cut someone else's lane when I drive
• Follow "3 in one" rules
• Pray very hard that the minibus I ride will not move me to their peers

Hope you can also do whatever you can, so we could have different kind of wonders in Jakarta traffic.

Cheers..
