First time trying MRT in Jakarta! They started last March 2019 for North-South line as first phase. Yep I’m this happy that Jakarta has MRT (you’d understand if you know how’s the traffic here) and it’s super clean!! . . We have this 23.3k long of North-South line operated since March 2019. Although it has been roughly 40 years since the concept of the Jakarta MRT was first raised, however, when Joko Widodo became Governor of Jakarta in 2012 (assisted by Deputy Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, better known as Ahok), the pair were eager to make a difference and pushed for realization of the long overdue Jakarta MRT project. . . It operates 285 trips daily from 5 AM until midnight, with 5 minutes headway. The charged fare for a trip on the MRT starts at Rp 3,000, increasing by Rp 1,000 for every station passed. A trip spanning the entire existing line in 2019 would cost a passenger Rp 14,000. The Jakarta MRT employs a cashless fare payment system. Other accepted forms of payment include electronic prepaid cards such as the JakLingko, E-Money (Mandiri), Brizzi (BRI), Tap Cash (BNI), Flazz (BCA) and JakCard (DKI). . . YAAAAAY for MRT! I know it’s late compared to other SE Asia countries and it’s a long process but hopefully this will reduce the heavy traffic jam in Jakarta. . . #mrtjakarta #lesstraffic #lovehatejakarta (at Stasiun MRT ASEAN) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6iEZTrHipqcOi2Y85CfH8fxKIPVjgPnRVjtkw0/?igshid=dj3frfreh4sq

My new ride. I am planning to commute by this beauty to office and back. Why you ask? Wait for the answer and follow my journey. Will be looking for your support and encouragement :) #healthylifestyle #savings #nopollution #lesstraffic

The only perk of going home late.. My usual 2hrs (or more) commute reduced to 1hr. (or less) 👍🏻 🚐🚦#lesstraffic (at Marcos Highway Road)

calling... for bike lanes! Are bikes destined to be our main mean of transportation? It certainly is a great feeling to bike early in the morning to work. The fresh air in your face and the exercise catalyze an early good mood. Unfortunately, weather conditions and rolling hills, thankfully, prevent us from biking paradise.  Nevertheless, bike lanes are an excellent way to bring to life to cities, no matter what their size is. If we are given safe and convenient routes, more and more people will start to use them and, the proximity and slower pace, will bring new life into the cities. People will be closer to the neighborhoods and that will promote healthier street level ad hoc commerce as opposed to megalomaniacal formatted shopping center “experiences”. Convenience, empathy and friendliness certainly best price focus sheep shopping.  Bike lanes are freedom paths. calling…  for a bike ride. #calling #bikeLanes #change #enjoyTheView #fasterCommute #lessPollution #lessTraffic #moreSecurity #rebirth
