If only Jakarta had put the same effort in stopping public smoking as it did in cracking down on beggars, then maybe it would be a much healthier city. The article pointed out:
Smoking is continuing on nearly 90 percent of public transportation vehicles in the city, despite a four-year-old bylaw banning lighting up in public places, the Indonesian Consumers Foundation said on Thursday.
This is yet another example that the city only enforces certain bylaws it wants to enforce and ignore the rest.
