Task 4

·         Should the government spend more money on improving roads and highways, or should government spend more money on improving public transportation(buses, trains, subway)?why?

The public transportation in Jakarta is not good enough, like bus, train and etc. Many public transportation there are old and unfit to use. Hot, dirty, unsafe it is also part of not good enough of public transportation facilities exist. Besides the bad conditions of vehicle one another reason is a driver, whose very reckless and impatients at driving. Those are the huge factor that makes public transportation  unfit to ride. And finally they choose to use personal vehicle and makes traffic jam, because there are to many  vehicle on  the road.

I know the problem not only on the quality of public transportation, homover other problems there is traffic jam. But the government can’t stop the growth of vehicle in the city, the streets will always solid. Everyone will still use they personal vehicle, no matter how the government improving the highway or toll road, the congestion will not go away.

With all the reasons, that’s way I think the government better use the money to improve the quality of public transportation. Maybe by fixing the ones we already have, getting new ones, and well educated driver or anything else but make it more fit to ride. Because then people would prefer public transportation because they feel more comfortable and secure, thereby reducing to use their personal vehicle. In other words there are vehicle on the road will be reduce and could reduce congestion.
