Traffic Jam-mers, Come Together

The idea came during traffic jam. It was raining this evening and I was travelling on LDP, again, SESAK SEPERTI BIASA. I start to ask the same old question I keep asking whenever I in this kind of situation. “Why we must face traffic congestion day to day??”. Isn’t it should be better? Isn’t that we deserve better?

Well, if thing were to change, how? For years we don’t see improvement done by government. Is it possible that we as PEOPLE can do something to help ourselves? But, HOW?? There are a few ideas:

1. Work from home. What I means so far is work from home in general. A lot of industry that is allowable to work from home, for example sales in any business, IT support or programmers, traders, etc.

2. Travel in group. Try to gather your fellow colleagues or friends that work around the same area to travel together.

3. Differencing time of attending and leaving from office to spread the heavy load on the road at certain point in time.

4. Bla bla…

Well, then I start to think that if we all gather our mind and share some ideas, maybe we can ultimately find the best solution. Then it comes the facebook group idea. The idea is at first we need to know how many are there on the road everyday, what kind of population and job nature of the people, what are the things that possibly be improved, so on and so forth. Then we together educate and help each other to implement a better habit to reduce traffic burden. Maybe with people power, we could urge the government to be more proactively setting the right policy to solve the problem and plan for a better future.

Anyway, things is just started. At the beginning, we need the ball rolling by getting more minds in the group. CLICK HERE to join and share, discuss. Thank you.

We Had Lost 1.5 Mil

As you may heard, there was a massive jam on LDP yesterday morning starting around 7 o’clock. It was due to a burst pipe somewhere near Puchong Gateway. The congestion lasted till around 11 o’clock in the morning. The queue was very long and if assume there were 50K cars jammed for 1 hour each. During the 1 hour, the car may had run extra petrol of 10 ringgit, then it was 500K extra spending on petrol for the day, or extra sales for petrol station for the day. Due to delay to the office, say each person worth 20 ringgit per hour, the productivity lost can be said to hit 1 million. In total, we had lost 1.5 million for the morning.
