Jakarta as capital city of Indonesia makes the city becomes the central economic activity and central government activity. Therefore, many companies’ headquarters operates their businesses there, starting from small companies to large companies. Moreover, the central government activity also are carried out in Jakarta as president’s residence and government offices like Supreme Court and House of Representatives are located in Jakarta.

All of these economic and government activities cause many people live and work there. More people means more housing needed in Jakarta, so do the infrastructure. However, Jakarta’s infrastructure development cannot follow its economic growth, thus congestion becomes the great problem nowadays in Jakarta. As the result, Jakarta government tries to solve the problem by creating MRT (Mass Rapid Transportation). Hence, how is the effect of MRT in Jakarta that people experience in solving congestion problem?

JAKPAT conducted a survey concerning the probable effect of MRT in Jakarta. The survey was a replication of a survey done via this link. This survey is followed by 588 respondents knowing about MRT and living in Jakarta.

Toward those 588 respondents we checked how many of them ever ridden an MRT ? Around 41% stated they ever ridden MRT. Then we checked via open text question and ask in which city they have ridden MRT. If we remove those answers that stated Indonesia, there are around 30%+ respondents that have the experience of riding MRT. Most respondents who have ever ridden MRT say that they rode it in Singapore, Jakarta, Hongkong, Malaysia and Japan.
