Jakarta Governor, Basuki T. Purnama, assessed the first day trial of odd-even traffic system run well. Even though many road users rammed the trial area, but the traffic remained smooth.
The traffic was still jammed, but vehicles remained moving
“The traffic was still jammed, but vehicles remained moving,” he said, Thursday (7/28).
Basuki added that odd-even should be run with electronic road pricing system (ERP). Odd-even system is run as transition period before running the ERP.
Red Plate Freely to Pass Odd-Even Zone“It’s better than without odd-even system. But the most effective is ERP,” he added.
