h metro to handle a ton of rain and groundwater. think of the metro system as a huge french drain for the reregion. the a lot of water coming in. certainly this past year we had a lot of water in then. regio once that water gets into antro's property, metro has to treat it d that water has to go back into the environment, clean. almost 1 spok.5 million gallons day. >> i think sustainability is but tant not only to metro the entire region. >> reducing emissions from transportation is crucial to improving our changing climate. >> news4's eun yang looks at small things you can do. >> we can make easy changes to our daily commutes to drive smarter. >> that will help improve your fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gaemissions. >> first, go easy on the brakes and gas pedal.tr use cruise c if you have it. if you have a vehicle with four-wheel drive, consider two-wheel drive mode when road conditions make i easy to do so. >> don't forget the tires. check your tire pressure regularly. undenflation increases tire wear, reduces your fuel econo

peace is the problem the metros designed to ease gridlock traffic congestion plagues greater jakarta which is home to about thirty million people short commutes can take hours and thus has a high price the government says the jobs cost the city four billion euros every year vehicle emissions are also the biggest contributor to cars as deadly air pollution. changing the car culture won't happen overnight but officials hope that by offering low ticket prices and free rides for passengers they can entice to carton's to give the subway a try. joining me now is yoga i do win an art show from the institute for transportation and development policy as the report mentioned this has been in the works since the one nine hundred eighty s. it will be another thirty years before we see the next re-align will it. now is one the second face of the metro or the marquee has gotten under way so it will be under construction i think the next month. and the government both national and the city government they also get involved with not or are you know agencies to this you know to the plan or not or if

newly built metro only opened for sixteen kilometer you know out of this six hundred sixty kilometers square off. the area so just so you know just to give a comparison in addition to the metro this is the city actually already have about one hundred twenty kilometer off the commuter rail which offers not only the city but also kind of like the greater area of jakarta and it also have the two hundred twenty kilometer off the bus rapid transit network so you know it's very marginal in terms of the coverage but it gives some hope at least now. you know that some people can say look we have already a metro so i think the biggest task is like you know just to actually have people using a lot just you know you have got it i do thank you. that's all for now we'll see you next time i. used to curious. do it yourself or. you're a. school. teacher you know that seventy seven percent i think are younger than sixty. that's me it's me you. get to know what time the voice is what. the seventy seven percent talk about the issue. from quality to flash from closing. time this is where. local to the s
