"The regulation has set the maximum travelling time from Athlete Village to sport venues in 30 minutes. As we know, the traffic condition in Jakarta is congested," the Head of Jabodetabek Transportation Management Agency Bambang Prihartono said here on Tuesday.
The agency will control the private cars traffic by its odd and even license plates per day to reduce the congestion in Jakarta.
The system will be implemented at Jalan Benyamin Sueb, Jalan Gatot Subroto, Jalan S Parman, Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Jalan MH Thamrin, Jalan Rasuna Said, and Jalan MT Haryono.
The management will also divert freight trucks ways from city tolls to Jakarta Outer Ring Road.
According to Prihartono, his institution will also prepare special lane for public transportation in toll roads.
Besides, the Indonesia Asian Games Organizing Committee (INASGOC) is finalizing preparations for the opening of Asian Games 2018, so that it would be ready before the deadline of registration of participants (entry by name) by the end of this month.
At least 20 thousand people would be involved in the opening of the 18th Asian Games at Gelora Bung Karno main stadium on Aug 18.
