Vice
President Boediono has called on the next government to set up a southern Java
double track railway network in a bid to further decrease road congestion and
traffic accidents.
"We will get a lot of benefits if we
can establish a southern Java railway because Java is the center of logistics
in the country," Boediono said in Bojonegoro, East Java, on Friday, as
quoted by Antara news
agency.
He also
said that the railway would help reduce the use of fuel for vehicles.
Currently,
the government is finishing a 727-kilometer double track railway project across
the northern part of Java that would connect Jakarta and Surabaya, East Java,
the island's two economic and business centers.
"There
are a few locations that are yet to finish, but we are speeding up," he
added.
He said
the movement of both people and goods across Java was still done mainly by road
transportation, which was around 80 percent, leaving the remaining 20 percent
to air, sea and rail. (nfo)
comment :
I agree with the statement from the
Vice President, Boediono. He has called on the next government to set up a
shoutern Java double track railway network. We will get a lot benefits from the
development. It has the relation with many things, one of them is from the
economic field, it would help reduce the use of fuel for vehicles and the
movement of goods, and from the safety field, it would reduce road congestion
and traffic accident. As we know, Java islands was the centre of logistic in
our country. So, with the improvement in the transportation system, especially
with increasing the development of double track railway, it will push the
citizens to use the rail. Nowadays, the movement of the goods and the persons
that across in Java was still done mainly by road transportation, it is about
80%, leaving the remaining 20% to air,
sea, and rail. Based on the fact, it is very good if the next government
continue to build the shoutern Java double track railway network which is so many
benefits that we get.
