Our Buses also came from Helsinki, ( Finland ) Germany and our monorail, which is our LRT Network Transit, from Russia. 

In the 90s, the LTA created the urban development concept where they wanted to build tracks and trains for our convenience and time management without the traffic. This also helps to reduce carbon footprint by 90%, to reduce the sustainability of the transport and the world in the future.

Three and a half million people a day commute into this hot and humid city from the wider metropolitan area of Greater Jakarta and many come by car, attracted by the status and the air-conditioning. Their cars, though, are motionless in macet (gridlock) during most of the 5am to 8am and 5pm to 8pm rush hours, and for much of the day. Jakarta was named the world city with the worst traffic in one index last year based on satellite navigation data, which found the average driver starting and stopping more than 33,000 times in a year. An estimated 70% of the city’s air pollution comes from vehicles.

It typically takes two hours to drive 25 miles to the centre from Bogor, the largest of the satellite cities, where many office workers live. A bad journey can take three hours. As cars idle in endless queues, scooters slalom past, missing by inches. It seems there are often more passengers on the bikes than in the cars.]]> 2023-04-06 03:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/solonzcusp/pdv27584p8tp/wish/2545777668 Dylan 3N2 https://padlet.com/solonzcusp/pdv27584p8tp/wish/2545779928 When you are travelling by bus, it is always difficult to decide whether you should sit in a seat by the window, a seat on the aisle, or a seat in the middle. If you take an aisle seat, you have the advantage of being able to stretch your legs whenever you like, but you have the disadvantage of people walking by you and they can accidentally step on your toes or spill something on your clothing.

If you take a window seat, you have the advantage of getting a clear view of the scenery, but you have the disadvantage of watching insects die as they hit the glass. If you take a middle seat, you have neither of these advantages, and you have the added disadvantage of people leaning all over you when they fall asleep. You can see at once why you should always arrange to hire a limousine or rent a mule rather than take the bus to your destination.”]]> 2023-04-06 03:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/solonzcusp/pdv27584p8tp/wish/2545779928 Kiev Hudson Tan kievsawinpersonal https://padlet.com/solonzcusp/pdv27584p8tp/wish/2545780395 2023-04-06 03:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/solonzcusp/pdv27584p8tp/wish/2545780395 PoojaNair https://padlet.com/solonzcusp/pdv27584p8tp/wish/2545780729 https://www.sg101.gov.sg/infrastructure/case-studies/publictptnetwork#:~:text=Today%2C%20the%20MRT%20system%20is,residential%20towns%20and%20MRT%20stations.

On speed-unrestricted stretches, an advisory speed limit (Richtgeschwindigkeit) of 130 kilometres per hour (81 mph) applies.[2] While driving faster is not illegal in the absence of a speed limit, it can cause an increased liability in the case of a collision (which mandatory auto insurance has to cover); courts have ruled that an "ideal driver" who is exempt from absolute liability for "inevitable" tort under the law would not exceed Richtgeschwindigkeit.

A 2017 report by the Federal Road Research Institute reported that in 2015, 70.4% of the Autobahn network had only the advisory speed limit, 6.2% had temporary speed limits due to weather or traffic conditions, and 23.4% had permanent speed limits.[3] Measurements from the German state of Brandenburg in 2006 showed average speeds of 142 km/h (88 mph) on a 6-lane section of Autobahn in free-flowing conditions.[4]]]> 2023-04-06 03:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/solonzcusp/pdv27584p8tp/wish/2545783238 Crystal Ren 3N2 https://padlet.com/solonzcusp/pdv27584p8tp/wish/2545787967 Hong Kong has many comfortable and well air conditioned busses.
