   I personally quite liked the kancil (mouse-deer):
   

   They were supposed to replace bajaj. They were Rp50 million each but disappeared quickly because they were (not surprisingly) too expensive for bajaj drivers and not available for “private” customers.

   They don’t seem much different in terms of form and function to the Tato Nano, so maybe they could be sold off as an interim step.

   Then again, it could just make terrible traffic even worse…

   And where are the roads for all these cars?

   Exactly, build more motorbike factories I say, I know plenty of people hate the motorbikes and the people who ride them but just imagine all those bikes turned into cars, madness, …. or of course public transport, but that takes colossal investment sums, and it’s not as sexy to government ministers who want multi-national car factories everywhere.

   As long as they are not electric than would require something like a power infrastructure within the nation

   Yeah, Patung, anybody who travels between Kebon Jeruk and Tomang often will testify to the superfluity of more cars here.
   But what is it about bikers here? Many of them appear to be clinically insane, or at least criminally dangerous.

   I’d love to see em all hit a gridlock someday, when even motorbikes cant go over the pedestrian sideways to get over the trafficjams. There needs to be a revolution to solve the traffic problem, and building cheap cars arent going to be a solution, that’s only gonna make it worse.
