<h1>Jakarta to set new school and working hours </h1>
<p><strong>The Jakarta Post</strong> | Fri, 11/21/2008 5:58 PM | Jakarta </p>Jakarta city administration is set to issue a regulation to make school hours begin half an hour earlier (6.30 a.m.) as of Jan. 1, to ease morning and noon traffic congestion around the city.<br>
<br>"We will propose this new arrangement to Governor Fauzi Bowo. If he approves, it will take effect in Jan. 1," Vice Governor Prijanto said after a meeting with related city agencies on Friday.<br><br>The administration will also issue a non-mandatory instruction for private companies in Jakarta to rearrange their operating hours according to the location of their offices.<br>
<br>"For private offices, we urge those located in North and Central Jakarta to begin at 7.30 a.m.; 8 a.m. for offices in West and East Jakarta and 9 a.m. for those in South Jakarta," Prijanto<br>said. The starting time for civil servants would remain at 7.30, he said.<br>
<br>According to a recent survey commissioned by the city administration, some 20.7 million people travel through the city every day, with about 3 percent relying on trains, 40 percent on bicycles or on foot, and 57 percent on motorized vehicles.<br>
<br>They survey also showed that about 32 percent of all the destinations were workplaces, 30 percent schools, 12 percent shopping malls and 26 percent others.
