The Jakarta Police have advised the city administration to alter office working hours to tackle the capital’s severe traffic congestion during peak commuting hours.
Newly appointed Jakarta Police traffic director Sr. Comr. Latif Usman has proposed a plan that would require some offices to shift their employees' work schedules so that they would not have to commute during peak hours.
"Based on our research, the main cause of Jakarta's severe rush-hour congestion is due to office workers leaving at the same time," Latif said, as quoted on the National Police website on Friday.
