Traffic accidents

Man speaking to Transport Minister EE Mangindaan: Mr Minister, the road accident rate is dropping, that means transportation is improving yeah?

An announcement by police that the number of traffic accidents in Jakarta has dropped by a fifth – largely attributed to slower travel due to increasing congestion – has been eclipsed by news of a horrific train accident in Bintaro, South Jakarta in which seven people died and 90 were injured.
