The development of the mobility system in Jakarta's urban planning initially did not focus on public transportation, unlike Singapore and Hong Kong. This resulted in the dependence of Jakartans on private vehicles as a mode of daily mobility, which of course caused various disadvantages. However, now the development of mobility systems in Jakarta has begun to lead to public transportation.

Here's how Jakarta's dependence on private vehicles compares to Singapore and Hong Kong.

1. Private car ownership in Jakarta is 5x that of Singapore and Hong Kong.
