Section B: Response to Geographical Issue [10 marks] 7 Study the article below and answer the questions that follow. The world's worst traffic: can Jakarta find an alternative to the car? Jakarta was named the world city with the worst traffic in 2016 based on satellite navigation data, which found the average driver starting and stopping more than 33,000 times in a year. An estimated 70% of the city’s air pollution comes from vehicles and the rate of traffic accidents has increased over the years. Efforts to reduce car use are limited to an odd/even scheme on the main highway and a few other key routes during rush hour: vehicles with odd numbered plates are allowed on odd dates, with even plates on even dates. Another key solution is the use of motorbikes. “Motorbikes are twice the speed of a car in Jakarta, they use a 10th of the fuel, are a 10th of the cost and use far less space,” says Nadiem Makarim, founder and chief executive of Go-Jek, the city’s two-wheeled version of Uber. “Motorbikes are much more efficient. There’s no reason for cars to exist in this city at all.” A long-awaited railway link from the airport is set to start operating in 2017 and the first phase of a light railway system is due to open in 2018, in time for the Asian Games. The new network should boost rail capacity from 800,000 to 1.2 million passengers a day. Fig. 7 (a) Identify two travel alternatives to reduce car use in Jakarta.
