"Traffic jams and pollution always exist in Jakarta."The capital, which has a population of more than 10 million, is also served by an existing, 16 km long underground mass rapid transport (MRT) line that connect the southern areas to downtown Jakarta.Indonesia has started building a new city on Borneo island called Nusantara to replace the congested Jakarta as capital of Southeast Asia's biggest economy. The project, which has no timeframe for completion, is a key part of the president's legacy as he prepares to leave office next year.<img src="https://apa.az/site/assets/images/icons/apa_mini_logo.svg" alt="#" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
