[sustran] Re: Indonesia's traffic nightmare

[Todd Edelman, Green Idea Factory]

Regarding Toyota, how more sure do we need to be?

They are in the no. 1 sales position, traffic in Jakarta is particularly 
anti-human, manufacturers and their lobby are pressuring for more 
automobile-oriented infrastructure and rules... sounds like 100% or more.

Toyota's business - aside from commercial and PT vehicles - is probably 
99.5% supporting Old Mobility (I know that some Priuses, etc. are used 
for carshare).

If the automobile manufacturers present us with a 10- or even 20-year 
plan to sustainably downsize to the point where they are only producing 
new automobiles for carshare, taxis and rural use, plus parts for 
long-term upkeep of existing vehicles... I will buy shares in Toyota and 
its competitors.
