The addition of public transportation is one of the government's plans to overcome this. Addition itself means the increasing of number. Which points that is increased, to be exact? More units and more types of mass public transportation. For example, as we know, Jakarta is in the process to establish rail based MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) and Subway, besides currently, the new appointed governor, Joko Widodo, and the council are also arranging the scheme of the addition new Transjakarta buses. It causes controversy, whether it will be a solution or even create a new matter.
