Back with me, Sandra Liem in Great News. This time we will be delivering the news of traffic
jam which often becomes a major problem for big cities in Indonesia, including the capital
city, Jakarta. On a typical day the volume of vehicles is increasing, especially during the long
weekend. The congestion occurs in many parts of Jakarta, and Kasablanka city has it worst.
The congestion is also followed by heavy rain that flushes the area and the surroundings
starting from this afternoon at 4 p.m. that affects the congestion to get worse. Big rain also
falls in the west part of Jakarta and already causes flood. It’s flooded to a height of 30 cm
and disrupts the road users. It can be dangerous especially for motorcycle riders. The police
officers are going down to help with the traffic.
Follow the next update in Great News one hour ahead. I am Sandra Liem, good morning and
see you.
