Indonesia traffic headache - Staggered work hours offered yet again to ease Jakarta gridlocks


JAKARTA, May 13 (Jakarta Post/ANN): After previously failing to convince workers and employers to alter their work schedules to alleviate the city's chronic traffic issues, the Jakarta administration has once again started a conversation surrounding staggered working hours to ease the capital's infamous gridlocks.

Jakarta acting governor Heru Budi Hartono has suggested private office workers start their morning at two different times, 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., claiming that such an adjustment could reduce morning traffic by at least 30 percent.
