Traffic jam is a very slow-moving traffic that has become a concern in almost every country in the world. In my hometown, Indonesia, traffic jam is a big problem to the government which is caused by too many vehicles on the road especially motorbikes that usually cut the lines, accidents, and the absence of long-term infrastructure, such as : MRT system and monorail (which was abandoned, leaving its platform supports as more concrete pillars).There are currently around 1.5m motorised vehicles—cars, motorcycles, buses and three-wheeled auto-rickshaws—on Jakarta's streets each day, though the roads have space for only 1m of them. Note: There is still no MRT in Indonesia so the only public transportation are bus, taxi, becak, and bemo. However, recently the new leadership are planning to finish the construction of the monorail and to finally construct MRT line in the city. The new leadership also prohibiting states employees that lives around Jakarta (capital city) using personal vehicles on the first Friday of each month.

Compared to Indonesia which has a lot of motorbikes, Singapore has very little amounts of motorbikes and also has a lot of public transportations. However, because of a lot of tourists, international students, international workers who came to Singapore, Singapore started to become a crowded country. Public transportation can not support all the people in the country and the space of the road is not enough for all the vehicles especially during the peak hours.
