Horrible Traffic

Yesterday I faced one of worst experience in my history of driving car.

I was supposed to be a Judge of for a Speech Contest held by the Motivators Toastmasters Club which take place at the Mayapada Building, Central Jakarta, which starts at 6.30 pm. 
Usually, it would take me not more than one hour to get to that place. But considering that it was raining quite heavily since 4 pm, I left my office in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta, at 4.30 pm.


The streets that I passed were so heavily crowded with cars, motorcycles, bicycles, taxis, big and small buses. Some of the streets were inundated by water at the depth of around 10 centimeters, forcing drivers to move very slowly and stop causing a very bad traffic jam.
At 6.30pm I only reached the street in front of the Hotel Sultan, Central Jakarta, which means that I only reach a half way of my destination, and the vehicles in front of me were almost not moving. 
I tried to call Tantia the Chief Judge at Motivators but not answered so I sent a text message via Blackberry Messenger (BBM) telling her about the ugly situation and apologize that I cannot come to the Club.

After half an hour, I decided to return home by taking the toll road, so I ascended the Semanggi flyover and drove to Jl Gatot Subroto. The traffic was also jammed and I reached the nearest toll gate at 8 pm. Thank God the toll road road was not so crowded.

I reached my house in South Jakarta at 9pm feeling so very tired body and soul.

HI Harry, Yesterday was a mess all day with the demo through the city, the fire near Pacific Place, the usual madness and then the rain. It took me 1.5 hours to get from Puri to Mampang by bike. It normally takes me less than 45 minutes.
Interesting that the police seem to vanish on nights like these!

oh the good old combination of demonstration, fire and heavy rain around peak hours.

hope your body and soul are fully nourished by now

Sounds frustrating! At least you stayed safe.

Jakarta traffic calls for extreme self control obviously. Too bad you missed you appointment.

Unknown said...

wah sangat menyiksa sekali ya kalau macet begitu. lagian waktu 6 jam itu kalau naik kereta argo sudah sampai jogja lho pak,

sedang di dalam kota jakarta hanya untuk jalan ditempat saja. wah wah wah,

Your traffic getting heavier too Harry.

Connie said...

Being in traffic like that makes me nervous and is exhausting. Sounds like it was a long evening for you.

@Luke,
Like you said yesterday was a mess all day with demo, building on fire and then the heavy rain. I also wonder why only few police were around.

@Triesti,
I am still having trauma today that I returned home before sunset.
I am so glad to see you again.

@Linda,
Yes, thank God I am safe.

@Colson,
Yes self control is absolutely needed.

@Wisata Murah,
Iya pengalaman yang gila.

@Peter/Kiwi,
It's different kind of traffic.

@Daisy,
Yes it was a very long evening.

Oh wow...that looks worse than city traffic here in the states!!

Ria Tumimomor said...

You spent so much time just to go half the way and then turn back home... It's surely exhausting :(

Unknown said...

@Optimistic Existentialist,
Yes that was the situation.

@Ria,
It was exhausting indeed.

Woah... The traffic in Jakarta is so crowded.. It's very defference with another city in Indonesia. But...I just hope that traffic jam is could be more freindlier with the drivers :)
