Those personnel will cover high-density traffic points across all five of Jakarta's administrative cities to monitor flow and clear jam.
"We want officials seeing real-time road conditions, identifying bottlenecks, and coordinating fixes on the spot. The goal is making commutes smoother, safer, and easier for everyone," he expressed, Sunday (10/11).
