Abstract

Traffic congestion in the Jakarta Capital City has become a public secret. Various solutions have been put forward and have even begun to be implemented by the Jakarta city government, such as the construction of Non-Toll Flyover (JLNT), the construction of Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), Light Rapid Transportation (LRT) and continuous improvement on other mass transportation services such as Busway and KRL. As the number two megapolitan in the world, Jakarta has never been free from traffic jams. Like Tokyo, Bangkok and New York City, traffic hours in Jakarta are classified as very acute. An extraordinary breakthrough is needed, to overcome this problem. Actually the problem of traffic congestion in Jakarta is not new. Based on statistical data, the growth of motor vehicles in Jakarta annually reaches 9.5%. This figure is not comparable to the growth of the length of the highway, which is only around 0.01% per year. There have been various ways taken by the government to overcome congestion in the capital city. Against this background, it is necessary to conduct socialization early on about mass transportation knowledge, especially for young children at elementary school level, so it is hoped our children already have provisions information and knowledge about the importance of using public / mass transportation modes in our country.
