Let’s make Jakarta streets better! — stop being assholes!

If you’re like me — stuck living in a city with one of the worst traffic congestion in the history of humanity, you can’t help but to find new ways to make your commute more bearable and enjoyable.

As a management consultant, it is hard wired to my DNA, if you want to solve a problem, find the root cause and fix it. So I delved in many hours of research to find the main culprit of Jakarta’s traffic and tackle it once and for all.

And here’s what I found.

As you can see, the amount of assholes roaming the streets of Jakarta is at a STAGGERING 80%.

And they come in all shapes and sizes. Some drives MVPs that rhymes with Abantha driving too fast and blocking everyone’s way, some rides motorbikes with a death wish, some ride the bus with no regard of personal hygiene and personal space (self and others), and some even can be found walking around their feet, suddenly appearing just right in front of your car in a intersection.

And based on my survey, Assholes are the leading cause of Jakarta’s traffic congestion. Here’s another chart explaining that :

Wow. Your head must be exploding right now, getting these cold, hard facts huh ? So, we have too much assholes, and they are the main cause of our problem. What are we gonna do ?!

Well, people would do something if there’s incentive. Here’s some for you. If we can reduce the amount of assholes to just 50%, happiness level of our commute would rise to 60%*. Imagine if we can reduce the assholes to 25%. Riding a bus in a scorching day would feel like riding a Unicorn while passing a rainbow.

*based on super-legit global framework made from SMEs expertise and years of engagement experience

And it all starts from you. YES YOU ! To quote Gandhi,

“Be the change you wish to see in the world”

So let’s all stop being assholes, and make this city a better one to live in !
