Transportation
In big cities we see many kinds of transportation. Several kinds use engines, the rest use human energy. Buses, mini-buses, taxis,
trains, bajajs and helicaks need engine to move, but becaks do not. The number of transportation increase every year. Do you know
why ? More people move from small towns or villages to big cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Ujung pandang and Medan to get
jobs. Those cities get more population every year. These people need to move there. That's why, the government has to provide
more transportation.
Besides, business and communication also improve every year.
People carry new products from part of the country to another by using long-distance transportation, for example ships, planes and
truck. In Palembang an in some other part of Kalimantan people carry their crops to the market by sampan. They paddle along the
river. It also a common sight to see people from outside Jakarta with baskets full of food crops on their bicycles or on mini-trucks.
