After so many years with nightmare of Jakarta transportation, I see now it goes well with MRT Jakarta. Being in a hate relationship for decades, I’m not remember the last time I used public transportation in Jakarta while pleased. Today marks the beginning of a new era of MRT operations, The MRT is part of a new culture because this is a first in Indonesia.
Last year, I endured hours of traffic every time I traveled from my house to my office in South Jakarta. If I was lucky, it took me 2 hours hours for my 18 kilometer commute to the city. And I’m not the only one anw.
At least after 34 years since first Initiated in 1985, Im happy on my first trip use this MRT. The government has made their effort in turning this 34-year-old dream into a reality. Not just the transportation , but the real meaning of urban public transportation which caring about traffic, speed, accuracy, security and most of it is being friendly to people with disabilities.
