Transportation problems in Indonesia, particularly in big cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, Bandung, Makassar and Medan, undoubtedly lie in the dominance of private vehicles, both cars and motorbikes, and in the limited number of mass public transportation available. In Jakarta, for instance, mass public transportation accounts for only 2 percent of a total of 9 million vehicles, and the rest are private vehicles. This overwhelming number of private cars and motorbikes causes traffic congestion in Jakarta.

Rencana kebijakan pembatasan BBM (Bahan Bakar Minyak) bersubsidi mencapai anti klimak ketika pemerintah akhirnya memutuskan baru akan terlaksana mulai Maret 2011. Itu berarti mengalami beberapakali penundaan dari rencana semula, per Mei, kemudian mundur per 1 September, lalu mundur lagi per 1 Januari 2011, dan direncanakan mundur lagi menjadi minggu ketiga Januari. Meskipun sudah diputuskan per Maret 2001, tapi bisa juga batal dengan alasan proses sosialisasinya belum final.
