Samenvatting
Based on recent experience from the Jakarta Traffic Management Study the author examines the problems posed by the heavy use of small para- transit vehicles in a different way. The paper goes on to identify the heavy impact of high volumes of smaller public transport vehicles on road capacity and hence on the public transport problem in particular. Reference is made to a wide range of survey results which include routes carrying peak flows of up to 500- 600 para- transit vehicles per hour.
