Updates from the developing city

Traffic is getting worse and worse. Not long ago, Saturday was known as having the worst traffic through the week, and Sunday was usually not so crowded on the street. But now, everyday is the same: crowded and traffic jams almost literally everywhere.

I spend at least one hour car ride to go home from work, when I had found out a while ago when traffic was fine on weekends that it should only take 20 minutes or so. So now it's 3 times longer.

The underpass at Pondok Indah Mall (PIM) intersection is now operational. And PIM 2 is open, although it's not yet 100% ready; shops and restaurants are still under construction, but the gym is ready and open since end of July.

They've been starting the construction of the monorail facility. Somehow it seems like the railway is going to collide some pedestrian overpass(?).
