Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Province Heru Budi Hartono said traffic jams in Jakarta could not be resolved quickly considering that it took time to increase public transportation so that people would switch from private vehicles.

"Indeed, we can't solve the traffic jam quickly. I don't have to spend two years, I have to finish the burden on Jakarta," Heru said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, October 16.

On the other hand, continued Heru, he has tried to be able to add the number of public transportation fleets as an effort to overcome the problem of traffic jams in Jakarta.

"MRT, Transjakarta we add a fleet, Transjakarta we add a route area point," explained Heru.

Heru also admitted that the problem of congestion is still in Jakarta and it cannot be free from this. However, he emphasized, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government always strives to reduce congestion.

Towards the end of his term of office tomorrow on October 17, Heru said he had made plans to deal with fires and floods for the next three months.

"Yesterday and earlier I also emphasized one fire prevention. Including flood readiness and so on. Yes, we are preparing today for the next three months," said Heru.
