BANGKOK PROBLEM
Bangkok roads poorly design Need more U-Turn
They have one of the best public transport, but most of them prefer to use car.
POLLUTION
Unregulated factories
Buses not maintain correctly Often this pollution causes a disease for tourist KARACHI’S PROBLEM
Road Construction without any traffic diversion plan buses have ilegal stops
Manual Traffic Signal
Controller
Driver didn’t do the traffic rules
LAND GRABBING
The karachi land mafia is very powerful.
They take away citizen’s and government’s land
Even they have political backing
They also heavily armed
REFLECTION
I think pakistan government the one who made a strict law for those land mafia. Bangkok citizen should use more public transport that private car.
Thailand government should made a law that every factory must have dust collector. I made me feel sorry for the earth, because every human in this world must take care, not destroy
I feel pity about karachi land grabbing and also feel lucky because that problem not happen in Jakarta
Jakarta also have traffic and pollution problem but, for the land grabbing may be we have, but not as serious as karachi’s
May be those city can have a car free day for a week, the citizen can use a public transport.
