Greater Jakarta Transportation Body (BPTJ) head Bambang Prihartono says the odd - even license policy designed to ease traffic in Jakarta has caused bottlenecks at several exit tollgates.
Bambang said the bottlenecks were found on the Cikampek toll road leading to Bekasi and Jagorawi toll road to Bogor in West Java, which intersect in Cawang, East Jakarta.
“[That is because] the policies are implemented differently [on toll roads]. On the Jagorawi and Cikampek toll roads the odd - even policy starts at 6 a. m. , meanwhile on Jl. Sudirman - Jl. Thamrin [in the inner city], it starts at 7 a. m. , ” Bambang said.
He said the agency would hold a discussion with the Jakarta Transportation Agency to synchronize the odd - even policy on Sudirman - Thamrin and the toll roads.
