AKARTA: Actor Tanta Ginting says he doubts the Jakarta administration’s policy to impose an odd-even number plate regulation on cars and motorcycles would significantly reduce traffic jams.

“If you want to reduce traffic jams significantly, then improving public transportation facilities is the only way,” Tanta said as quoted by tribunnews.com recently.

Tanta added that the administration had to also improve the integration of public transportation facilities so that the public could access them more easily.

“For example, we need better parking facilities for people to park their vehicles at public transportation stations and terminals,” he said.

Tanta said he would prefer to use public transportation instead of driving his own vehicle, if possible.

“Public transportation is a lot cheaper,” he said. —JP
