Hey, Can We Merge Jakarta & Bandung?

Things to do in Bandung:
1. Jam the road and parking lots with your vehicles. Ride bumper to bumper, exchanging honks. The more the merrier. Fun, eh?
2. Visit the malls and factory outlets. If you don't have any shopping list, just be there and impulsively you will end up buying one or two things you might or might not regret.
3. Dine in some fancy restaurants. Buy the ambience. Eventhough it means that you have to dig your way through traffic for more than an hour to reach that place, spending another hour or so to wait for your order to be served and paying for the overpriced delicacy.

Things to do in Jakarta:
1. Traffic jamming.
2. Shopping.
3. Dining.

My proposal:
1. The distance between Jakarta and Bandung is only about 2.5-5 hours. It's more likely the same travel time inside Jakarta during heavy traffic.
2. Jakarta is crowded on weekdays, Bandung is crowded on weekends and public holidays.
3. People do business and leisure, both in Jakarta and Bandung. One day travel back and forth is easy.
4. What people like to do and get in Bandung, they can do and get the same in Jakarta. Vise versa.
5. So why make things difficult? Merge! And we will have 24/7 traffic jams, crowded malls, full-house restaurants .. 365 days a year. We can exchange travellers, spreading out evenly cause basically we live in the same city.

Viva Bandarta! Viva Jabandung! Together, we remain.
