It’s almost like we’re a real big city!
I KNOW. It’s almost impossible to choose. Decisions decisions.
In Jakarta, rich and poor meet in the car-pool lane →

A pretty good review of the insanity that is Jakarta’s traffic.
Her conservative attire makes it clear that it’s not sex she’s selling on the side of the road. Instead, Ms. Mariana – who like many Indonesians goes by only one name – is among the thousands of Jakarta’s poor trying to make money in a trade thought to be unique to the Indonesian capital: professional hitchhiker.
The traffic in Jakarta, a city of more than 13 million people and no subway system, is legendarily bad. It’s not uncommon to see 10 lanes of traffic at a dead halt as late as 9 p.m. Traffic costs the city an estimated $1.2-billion a year in wasted fuel and lost productivity, as well as health-care expenses.
