Tugas Bahasa Inggris public transportation

Nearly all Jakartan motorists must have experienced this frustrated situation: Getting trapped in traffic chaos when traffic lights don’t work. Such an incident can happen at any time.The problem is that the Jakarta Transportation Agency, responsible for managing the traffic light system, often takes a long time to fix them. Why does it take so long for the agency to take action? The answer is: This megapolitan city still uses out of date traffic light technology.
Such a sluggish response to fix malfunctioned traffic lights is blatant evidence that the city authorities are not serious about easing traffic problems. We regret that the city leadership — the governor and his staff as well as the city councilors — do not allocate adequate funds to modernize the traffic lights, one vital piece of traffic infrastructure in a great city like Jakarta.
Any malfunction of the instrument will undoubtedly worsen the traffic chaos in the city, particularly if it cannot be immediately fixed. The absence of such an integrated system causes a malfunction at each traffic junction — thus is unable to transfer information from one junction to another.
It is understandable that motorists often complain about unfair periods of traffic light changes, particularly at junctions that are not equipped with countdown timers.
We welcome any effort to ease the problems as Jakartan motorists have long been suffering from daily traffic congestion in the morning and evening peak hours.
We know that there are many things the city must do to ease traffic, including efforts to improve the service of public transportation, which many believe is the key in fixing the city transportation problems.
But it is also not less important to facilitate motorists with modern traffic infrastructure such as an integrated traffic light system, so that any malfunction can immediately be detected and fixed. That is one example of what taxpayers’ money should be spent on.
