Cars and motorcycles jammed Jl. Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta on Saturday afternoon as usual. The area is notorious for its appalling traffic, but the flow was smoother than two weeks ago when the market and bus terminal were restructured. Congestion is inevitable, but the absence of street vendors and illegal parking means the vehicles can at least crawl forward.

Your comments:


If the Jakarta administration feels that creating spaces by removing vendors is its responsibility, who will be responsible to provide for their needs, such as water, electricity, housing and transportation?

I would suggest that the administration limit the number of vendors in order to serve the existing ones better.
