I have been known to moan from time to time about our traffic problems, particularly the problems posed by motorcyles that line up 20 deep at traffic lights. Before you accuse me of exaggeration, consider the following figures: number of licensed motorcycles in Jakarta = 9 million number of licensed motorcycles in the UK = 1.2 million approx number of licensed motorcycles in the whole of the USA = 6.7 million approx I don't know how many motorcycles we have in Indonesia as a whole, but there are in excess of 50 million licensed vehicles for an estimated population of 230 million. Traffic!! and no plans for an integrated mass transit system for Jakarta before 2016 at the earliest - doubt I'll live to see one. Oldtimer
