Forum: Regulating office hours

Mon, 09/15/2008 10:07 AM | Reader's Forum

I would like to endorse the idea floated by the transport department as a short-term remedy. The implementation checks are not warranted here because if office times are indeed changed, no one will like to start early to reach the office early.

Also educating people on the car-pool concept and encouraging the families to share the vehicle on round-robin basis to travel to work would help a lot. Also network for the Trans-Jakarta buses need to be expanded to areas where it's not reaching.

The ramping up of intra-city train services on Mumbai model could be one of the biggest steps to traffic management.

Another "excellent" idea from the transport department. What will they think of next? Did these "planners" actually go to school or did the administration just go to the zoo and pick up monkeys? How do they expect to enforce this? Stop every vehicle on the road and check it?

How are they going to enforce that? Sigh...another excuse for the Police to make money from good ordinary citizens? I call this a band aid remedy for cancerous tumor.

They just don't get it! Why can't they get to the root of the problem: provide the populace with a decent public transportation system? Once that is in place, curb the car and motorcycle populations! I'm sick of these endless Bloody Excuses and Denials!

Nice post. However, to end your topic with a transcendental proposition is quite a suicide. The practice of capital punishment, moreover, is a practice that found its legitimacy in religion.

Moses legitimatized it, Martin Luther also did. In the middle ages, this practice was done for the sake "saving the soul by killing the body".

In my opinion it's best to separate positive law and its reasoning from the religious proposition.
