Bridges Versus Ferry Services

F ** k Bridges, Ferries We Want! ", Title of the article in the magazine's site was very Renegade" sting ", in the middle euforia handsel Suramadu bridge, on Wednesday (10 / 6), by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Already tepatkah decision to build bridges, especially the berbentang long?

Articles that contain "scramble" the bridges and ferries in the United States. Be censured, flubdub rider who snarl bridges. The city's "divided" by the width of the river is often only one to two bridges so that the flow of vehicles "tighten" in the bridge.

Consequently, in many cities built more bridges. Not build an alternative crossing to another zone or a movement of people.

For example in Pontianak, inaugurated in 2007 Kapuas II bridge for the "empty" Kapuas Bridge I. Palembang, even though a bridge Ampera II and Musi, Musi III bridge plan.

Meanwhile, the lobbying Pemkot Samarinda Department of Public Works to build a third bridge, Crown II.

Sentimental

Tepatkah development of the bridge? Film remind Intersection (1994). When Vincent Eastman (Richard Gere) and Olivia (Lolita D) ferry ride in Vancouver, Canada, to the workplace. There are sentimental impression there.

Effect of the fan was on the ferry, "always beautiful in the morning ferry. Residents in the chat at the ferry. Afternoon, sunset seen. Very beautiful. "

Commuting impossible to enjoy the sunset while driving on the bridge. And on the ferry, write Commuting other, "often have live music. Rileks after work. "

Rower for bicycles, are also ferries. Bicycles are no bridges at the ferry. Or, when the bridge can only be passed vehicle.

"Bottleneck? What's that? "Babble lover ferry. Anywhere, and they jockey lincah "jump" antartransportasi bulk. Diperamah face with the city to reduce emissions and strengthen citizen interaction.

Keberpihakan

There is no intent judge Suramadu bridge. But to build similar bridges? Whoa ....

Moreover, the system is being perferian be addressed. If PT Indonesia Ferry (ASDP) thorough improvement of the port, the sail and the sandar short. So many in fact lived synergy moda. Say, in Pontianak, build a bus rapid transport (Brt) in Pontianak Utara, through the ferry in the Kapuas River, through South Brt in Pontianak. Mass transportation akan menyusutkan movement and motor cars in Kapuas bridge and "empty" the road in Pontianak.

Where better, Rp 1.2 trillion to build bridge in Palembang Musi III or mass transportation? Moreover, growing road and bridge is always less with the growth of vehicles.

Thought moderate proposed transportation experts Unika Soegijapranata, Djoko Setijowarno, "Suramadu may have, but also so that the bridge rail."

If a train line in Suramadu, live "drawn" from the rail again to Sumenep Bangkalan (176 km). No need for the exemption of state-owned rail built since Madoera Stoomtram Maatschappij, November 1896.

Suramadu edge of the bridge, through the network later KA KA-VIII Regional Operations Surabaya. Live rail to Lamongan, Malang, Blitar, Banyuwangi, or even Jakarta. Ciamik tenan.

In the future, need to be reset each building bridges. Prioritize areas that there is no defection. Optimize the ferry when possible.

When forced to, can build bridges, but to facilitate the mass transportation so that people unspoilt private vehicle use is wasteful and tie.

It's whispering, "Bali and Lombok, there is no bridge from the past, I forward?" Perhaps, not the bridges that needed to Madura prosperous.
