Indonesia
is inhabited by around 250 million citizens whoutilize various transportation
to travel.
According
to the data compiled by Statistics Indonesia in 2015, more than 14 million
people were living in Java island, with 10 million of them living in DKI
Jakarta.
It
is no wonder then that the government and related institutions are trying to
fulfill the needs of public transportation, as shown by Jakarta administration's
effort to promote commuter rail (KRL), Transjakarta, and other kinds of
supporting vehicles. Even so, the number of public transportation is still
below expectation.
“Being
able to sit inside the train during office hours is rare. Usually passengers
cannot even hold a handgrip,” said a worker who took the KRL from Serpong
Station, as cited by "Kompas.com".
Similar
situation also happens to the passengers of Transjakarta and other public
transportation, like Mikrolet and Metro Mini that are often driven recklessly.
Thisweakcondition of public transportation indirectly influences
people to choose using private vehicles, either cars or motorcycles.
However,
there are also other alternatives to this issue,for instance rental vehicles.
Rental
vehicles provide similar benefits to private vehicles, such as faster and more predictable
traveling time, easier access, and more comfort. Rental vehicles also provide
additional benefits.
Rental
car users do not have to pay for maintenance. Also, nowadays rental cars are providedby
reliable and trusted transportation companies like TRAC, a car rental company under
Serasi Autoraya (SERA), part of Astra.
TRAC
has 34 branch offices in big cities in Indonesia, like Jakarta, Surabaya,
Semarang, Bandung, Batam, Lampung, Balikpapan, and Makassar. TRAC guarantees
that their drivers have expert driving skills and professional services.
TRAC
offers various types of cars which are all well-maintained, so that customers can
rent and use the cars without worry.
