In indonesia, traffic is not really good compare to other countries, because people in indonesia always break traffic rules like crossing a red light, not wearing seatbelt, and also reckless driving. Since than, the priminister in every city of indonesia have put some traffic rules in order to make trafic in indonesia better than before.

Transportation in Indonesia isn’t modern but it isn’t that old school as well, it is on an average level compared to other countries. There are lots of transportation that  we have here, including, motorbikes, cars, bicycles, and taxis. There are definitely some flaws on using a public transportation wether it’s on hygiene or time, some are late and it’s definitely not something that we’d want, but there are definitely problem and it’s an undeniable fact that Indonesia has a good transportation system but just not as good as some other countries.

 We do not have the best or most modern cars but we do have cars, motorcycles and trains.

The public transportation system has problems as they aren’t high in quality and sometimes aren’t safe, as there is almost no official public transport.

The roads here for cars and motorcycles aren’t the best either as the roads are quite small compared to other countries And there doesn’t seem to be improvements anytime soon.

Overall the transportation system here isn’t the best and there are still lots of problems but it isn’t the worst.

For example cars, we uses cars for driving, pick up things bring us to school and others just within the nearest places. But if bus is a public transportation that everyone can use and must have a card for using bus. Most of it have in the capital city. Like Bus mostly have in the Jakarta, Jakarta is one of the capital city in Indonesia. 

Sometimes in the vacation especially in Indonesia they can ride a horses, and can ride a wagon in Bahasa we called as (Delman) almost similar to becak. But becak and wagon is different type but the same function. Ojek, now are days many people using ojek aplication to buy this, that, those, these and others. or even can using ojek online to go to work and also can go to somewhere else but sometimes it’s not must we drive by ourself.  

Overall, it caused an imbalance between the level of traffic demand and traffic supply that must be faced by the transportation system. Nowadays, Medan is still experiencing severe congestion. This is due to the overcrowded population and private transportation demand.

“Sudako”, share taxi and cycle rickshaw are the most common public transportation in Medan. These transportations caused traffic everywhere and every time. The driver of share taxi will just stop anywhere and anytime they want to transport passengers and drop them off, for example. This results in other transportation having to stop suddenly and wait for it to go off the way. Although, In fact, other vehicles could have just pass the road beside it, but it cannot be done since the share taxi does not stop in side of the road. 

Actually, using public transportation is way more effective and cheaper. It reduces pollutions, traffic, also create a healthy and clean environment, but since it is not well-organized, many people prefer to have their own private transportations for the sake of their comfort, hygiene and other several reasons.

To conclude, using your own transportation is much better for today’s condition. In addition, since the people do not want to obey the rules, it is hard to reduce some problems faced. If you are wise enough, follow the rules and choose the right path to help Indonesia to develop and improve.

For example, traffic. This is a very common problem especially in larger cities, due to a larger population. That’s one of the factors, but there are many others factors that causes congested traffic. In terms of people’s obedience, in my opinion even though the government or any official organizations has set up a certain regulations that needs to be obeyed—in this case, public transportation—a number of people in Indonesia might act ignorant and violate the rules, which may cause inconvenience to other people who followed the rules. This can be found inside the public transportation itself or on its special sidewalks, where some of them are used for street vendors.

Furthermore, accessibility in Indonesia’s transportation should be discussed. There many transportations available in larger city. However, sometimes they are not accessible to people living in smaller cities, or territories with lesser people and lesser technology improvement. People who can’t access public transportation or unable to afford a vehicle of their own might experience more struggles if they want to travel or going anywhere out of their territories.

A transportation expert says that there are 3 major problems of the transportations in Indonesia. Firstly, the infrastructure and public transport are not as sufficient and effective as of now, making citizens have a preference of getting a private vehicle. Secondly, the government does not limit the use of private vehicles, encouraging citizens to use more than one vehicle having the same destination. Thirdly, Indonesia still lacked the services and facilities in providing citizens with private vehicles.

As a result, more and more people buy new vehicles while public transport gets desolated and unused. Especially when new innovations are appearing, such as gojek and grab, people are relying more on these apps. This encourages more people to work in these companies, resulting to more vehicles bought. 

Not only does this increase the traffic around Indonesia, especially cities which have large populations, it also decreases people who use public transport, such as becak, sudako, buses, trains, etc.

To conclude, the transportation system in Indonesia is still in need of some improvements as public transports must not vanish since there are citizens who cannot afford their own private vehicle and the traffic system could worsen.
