You know how I go on about the traffic, well I've got some facts and figures to explain what I mean:
Data in 2015 found there are more than 17 million vehicles, including 3.2 million cars, in Jakarta. This figure does not account for vehicles used to commute from Bekasi, Depok, Tangerang and Bogor into the city each day.
Jakarta police traffic unit data shows some 6,000 new vehicles — 1,600 cars — arrive on the streets of the capital every day, with a 12 percent growth in personal vehicles every year.
Motorcycles. State of California had 813,771 registered motorcycles in 2014, which accounted for roughly 8.5% of the 9,553,718 that were registered throughout the United States. Corresponding figures for the UK in 2014 were approximately 1,240,000 registered motorcycles. The last figure I saw for Jakarta, Indonesia - just Jakarta and not including Bekasi, Depok, Tangerang or Bogor - was around 12,000,000 motorcycles, yes, 12 million, or more than the total in the UK & USA combined.
I rest my case!
