Indosat Matrix Auto: is it worthed?

What makes Indonesian phone users afraid of postpaid service is afraid of over use of calls. Calling without limit will make people unaware that they have spend a lot of money just for chit chat. Then Matrix Auto should be a solution for that. It is basically GSM postpaid based, but with limit. Different from current Matrix, this Matrix Auto is based on IM3, thus number prefix will be 0855. You can decide the limit on registration, let's say Rp 200,000. Then after use the card and reach that limit you will be reminded that it will switch to pre-paid mode. That means you must refill or top-up the card with IM3 voucher obtained from street vendors.

All rates will be flat for postpaid and prepaid, that is Rp 85/second to call Indosat mobiles.  Is that cheap? Let's continue reading..

New Corridor Line for Jakarta Busway

Get ready for more traffic jam! Yesterday I passed S. Parman street in front of Slipi Jaya Plaza just found that workers were preparing for busway lane construction. It must be a heavy traffic since this main road is very crowded during day. It must be Busway Line 9: Pinang Ranti - Pluit. Can you imagine that is a main path from North to the South East? Although it will cover all the city with busway, but I just can't imagine how my way is to city if I don't take toll-road starting from tomorrow.

Although it is expected to operate on September 2008, new buses for those corridors have not been ready yet. So they are considering to open one or two corridors or delay all of them until end of the year.

So the govenment is building new lines:
Line 8 Lebak Bulus Terminal - Harmoni Central Busway Length: 18 km
Lebak Bulus-Ciputat Raya-TB Simatupang-Pasar Jumat-Metro Pondok Indah-Iskandar Muda-Teuku Nyak Arif-Letjen Supomo-Jl Panjang-Daan Mogot-S Parman-Tomang Raya-Kyai Caringin-Balik Papan-Suryopranoto-Harmoni.

Line 9 Pinang Ranti Terminal - Pluit Length : 15 km
Terminal Pinang Ranti-Pondok Gede Raya-Raya Bogor-Mayjen Sutoyo-Mt Haryono-Jl Gatot Subroto-S Parman-Prof Latumeten-Jembatan Dua-Jembatan Tiga-Pluit

Line 10 Cililitan -Tanjung Priok Terminal Length: 15 km
Terminal Cililitan-Mayjen Sutoyo-DI Panjaitan-Jendral Ahmad Yani-Yos Sudarso-Enggano-Terminal Tanjung Priok.

See my recommendation  and see the new corridor map:

Jogging Track Planned on Kelapa Gading

Last week I went to Kelapa Gading Mall for some purposes. On my way home, I passed boulevard circle between East Boulevard and West Boulevard, just noticed that one corner in East Boulevard had been blocked and had a sign telling "Jogging Track is coming soon". It will be built by Summarecon and Local Government. No information about when it will open for public.
