# data[].attributes.body
People in 21 st century might have been force in mobility. Especially in Jakarta, as the capital city of Indonesia with a large number of populations, a lot of people seem starting to do their activity depending on the transportation. Therefore, people who struggle to live in Jakarta, often consider buying a car or motorcycle to solve their transportation problem. In this essay, the car is an umbrella term for a city car in Jakarta, while the motorcycle refers to the under bone motorcycle, both have its strong and weak points. Some points will be discussed below, in order to give an overview in planning to buy a vehicle.

It seems that the most considerable point in buying a vehicle is the price itself. In average, the cost of the motorcycle is around 12 to 19 million Rupiahs. While, the price of a city car can reach about ten times of a motorcycle’s price. However, it might be undeniable that the high cost of vehicles provides the buyers comfort.

Most of city cars have already been provided with air conditioner and entertainment media. On the other hand, those comfort points have not been installed yet on a motorcycle. Those features can be a thing that might need to be considered before buying a vehicle, since Jakarta is a very crowded city with the distance from one place to another that rather afar and a high temperature city. Talking about the distant destination in Jakarta, it cannot be separated with the fuel and the fuel consumption itself.

Both vehicles use the same fuel, gasoline. However, the fuel consumption of each vehicle is a lot different. The fuel consumption of a motorcycle can reach up to 50 km/liter, since most of motorcycles are fuel efficient; therefore the fuel capacity is about 3 to 5 liters only. Meanwhile, the fuel consumption of a car can only reach up to 15 km/liter. Therefore, the fuel capacity of a car is about 30 to 45 liters. However, that does not affect the number of passenger that can be carried on each vehicle.

There are standards for number of passenger that can be carried on each vehicle. A motorcycle can carry up to 2 persons, it is highly recommended not to carry more of the standard on behalf of the rider’s safety. Unlike motorcycle, a car can carry twice number more than a motorcycle. A car can carry up to 4 passengers at a time. This might be an added value to be considered for a family while planning for buying a vehicle. Despite the number of passenger, the time efficiency to reach the destination in Jakarta is also important.

Going from one place to another in Jakarta can be considered as a time-consuming activity. Not only because of the matter of the distant places, but also the traffic jam that seems to be occurred frequently. According to Praswari, Jakarta is a crowded city every day, thus, buying a motorcycle might be the best solution for having a time-saving vehicle. This might be a strong point for having a motorcycle. A motorcycle can be easily travelling in the small roads to avoid the traffic jams.

There are a lot of reasons to be considered for people to buy the vehicle. Both have the strengths and weaknesses. For that reason, people should think carefully, they might need to make a list of the specification of vehicle that they need before buying a vehicle for their own and find the vehicle that might fulfill the needs and compatible for them. In addition, buying a vehicle means you are also required to be able to meet the needs of the vehicle, for instance, the gasoline, spare parts and also the regular servicing costs.
