Traffic Jam . Let's enjoy it for a moment

Dear fellow local guides , who here which on its way sometimes gets traffic jam ?

What you feeling about traffic jam , Annoying,mad , desperate, squeeze the horn,grab the line or stay calm ?

As a part of thousands employees in my office , traffic jam is normal routine for my self actually . especially when morning come to work and evening come home from work .

Here some tips for avoid traffic

  • Come to work early morning is better
  • Use alternative route if possible
  • Don’t grab to the line . N E V E R because make all worst

If your situation is traffic jam and no option for escaped don’t get mad or desperate,stay calm . Mad or grab to the line not solution . Maybe you can enjoy it traffic moment like me yesterday.

When I know in front of me bad traffic jam I just parking my motorbike out the line road . Try to looking for arround yeah I got it

Back to my motorbike with toast and a soft drink in my hand. Meet my friend because same situation ,and yeah enjoying my street food . sharing my toast with friend is better ,eating together no matter traffic jam arround us .

Stay for positive thinking,and again look arround, everyone same situation like you ,struck and can’t go anywhere . you’re not alone .

Better you take some pictures ,tell to the family you will be late coming home because traffic .

Here is my one 50 second video when I really stuck few time ago in 2019

"the best tips when you riding type of motorsport and stuck traffic like me is turn off machine,relax, don’t force yourself ( FYI riding motorsport not always cool as movie because posture should ± 45 degree sit position, perfect for high speed and so suffer when traffic jam )

Stuck traffic because too many drivers low awareness, grab the line , against the direction of the line .and the result of their selfishness is we are here waste time more than 1 hours ."

Thanks to @Ant_Bad_Yogi for this question of what I say in the clip .

so everyone what’s your traffic jam experience ,share here so we’re not alone

Hahaha. @Ant_Bad_Yogi come and see**Bike woman @Nyainurjanah **.

What amazes me is that she is always happy and smiling.

@Nyainurjanah I hate to be in traffic especially when I am in a rush.

Do you use Google maps to check for traffic situation around your area before you leave for office or home? @Nyainurjanah @To_paul @Ant_Bad_Yogi @SabbirShawon .

Sometimes it is necessary to check for traffic details before you leave office, it helps sometimes

I’m not saying it is usually accurate. Hahahaha

Don’t quote me wrong especially.

@Nyainurjanah I have been to Jakarta, I think it is one of the worst traffic jam cities in the world. But it is nice that you make me smile when I read this post. That toast looks yummy, and like you said, it feels good and it is fun when you share it with friends. Thank you for sharing this awesome post with us.

@Nyainurjanah Actually I went to Cikarang on business trip for 2 weeks. I didn’t go anywhere at all, poor me. On the way from Jakarta to Cikarang, the traffic was so bad, not sure if it is better these days.

In you area, is there any protest? I recall that there were some protests during my visit. And that made it worse for traffic.

@Nyainurjanah Maybe not a protest, but some mobs or strikes, employees stop working and they ride bikes in a big group on the street, something like that. They were all over the streets.

@Nyainurjanah Thank you so much for your reply. I see about the posture, I used to ride a road bike and the body position looks the same as yours. I don’t like that, the posture is not comfortable at all.

@Austinelewex You are so welcome, my dear. :))

Busway only on Jakarta area , another option is KRL or bike online but,not available in my town so ride motorbike is my best option and best effective transportation for me now

I don’t use GPS or map much when driving. @Nyainurjanah
I avoid the crowds, I use the small streets when I know the city, in the peak hours I try to anticipate what areas to bypass and try to see what happens a few hundred meters in front and react as such. I respect the road laws
However, the situation is different, I do not know how to get rid of traffic jams in the new and unknown area
