"In Jakarta, there are 1.000 additional new motorbikes every day," said Fauzi Bowo said in remarks at the opening of a Young Entrepreneurs Forum here Wednesday.
He said Jakarta`s fast economic growth was related to its residents` purchasing power but the increasing numbers of cars and motorbikes could have a negative effect in contributing to the city`s traffic problems, Fauzi said.
He said the city administration could not make any policy without considering matters related to the increasing number of motorbikes.
