It becomes worse in nighttime, with the dim lights and holes in the street. A similar condition is seen in CSW (Centrale Stichting Wederopbouw) in- tersection.

According to Djoko, it’s still been a big job for the government to encour- age the use of public transportation in Jakarta. In the Jabodetabek’s Trans- portation Master Plan, it targets an escalation of 40% in 2019, 50% in 2024 and 60% in 2029. Unfortunately, the situation shows otherwise, accord- ing to the Visual Frequency and Oc- cupancy survey conducted by Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) Indonesia in 2014 and 8 2018. The survey observes the volume of public transportation in Jakarta and shows a reduction of public transport users by 30%. To make it worse, a survey con- ducted by ITDP Indonesia also shown that a significant 58% of the online ojek users are public transport us- ers. “From this data we can see that the users of public transportation tend to use online ojek as preferable trans- for all types of transportation servic- development.
