Public transportation as a congestion solution <br><br>Transportation is a supporting facility to facilitate the activities of people from the distribution of goods and transportation of passengers. In the period of time, with the number of people there is directly proportional to the number of transportation that exist except public transportation, so it can cause traffic congestion. The traffic itself is a means of moving from one place to another. Like the example of cities – big cities in Indonesia there are various traffic problems like one of the problems about congestion. Congestion is a condition in which traffic flows through the road that are reviewed above the capacity of the road plan, resulting in the free speed of roads approaching or exceeding 0 km/h so as to cause the occurrence of queues. Because the city has a high level of activity and is also due to the inequalities of population and the number of private vehicles and motorcycles that are rapidly increased in each year in because interest from the community is very minimal to the public areas that have been provided by the Government. So prefer a private vehicle daion public transportation or public transport. <br>As we know the cause of the people who prefer to drive private vehicles than public transportation believe because of the limitations and lack of comfort and security that is felt by passengers such as the quality of substandard buses such as the seats that have been damaged, directly exposed to sunlight or the condition of the hot transportation, exposure to cigarette smoke and infrastructure that is less crowded for the community. Another contributing factor is public transport that is not yet able to reach the suburban areas that sometimes still many people have a purpose to a certain area. <br>From the above problems we can develop public transportation as closely as possible by expanding the bus so as to reach areas of the suburbs, so as to accommodate more passengers. Other solutions can make updates to public transportation that make public transportation pollution free and guarantee its security such as electric trains and so on. Electric trains have the advantage of being able to reduce congestion because they have their own lanes that can accelerate the travel time to the destination and save fuel. Therefore, this solution is expected to be applied in cooperation between the community and the Government so that the interest from the community is increasing with the renewal of the transport.<br> From the above problems can be concluded that to reduce congestion occurring in the city-big cities we can apply the existence of public transportation that can interest the public to menggurangi the use of private vehicles by doing a spread on the public transportation. From the solution above the country that has been implementing electric railway or MRT is Singapore. In Singapore, the airline is capable of handling daily trips of more than 8.9 million passengers at 90 km/hr with the 5-minute train lag time. This very fast travel time can improve the mobility of people in a city and can give impact to the increase and growth of the city's economy, and the quality of life of society.
