Street Jockey as a Job in Jakarta


A lot of people think the street jockey is one of Jakartas main problems. They swarm in the main streets and do nothing but beg for money. This paradigm leads the people in Jakarta to see the street jockey as a criminal or thug on the streets. People reject the street jockey and often discriminate them. This mindset however is wrong. The street jockey is one of the most important stake holders in Jakartas main street. They help the driver to avoid the three in one rules. They help the police when the rush hour in the main streets happens. And the last but not least, they help the city cleaner to maintain the city neatness. The first point is they help the driver to avoid the three in one rules. It has been a common knowledge that people in Jakarta use car to go to their destination. And it is also a common knowledge that the government implements the three in one rules in order to decrease the car quantity during the peak hour. Unfortunately there are a lot of driver that doesnt want to obey the rules. And street jockeys come as the solution for this people. The driver pay a sum of money and then the jockey help them through the three in one area. Although it is just a simple act, this jockey has saved a lot of driver from the punishment for violating the rules. When Sutiyoso, former governor of Jakarta, has enforced the law of three in one the street jockey face the dilemma that make them harder to get customer. Yet, there are still some people who try to be street jockey despite the risk. The street jockey aid in three in one proofed to be invaluable for the car driver who in need. When the rush hour comes, the police are helped by the street jockey to manage the traffic jam. In Jakarta, rush hour is one of the most hectic times. All cars, motorcycles and public transportation stuff together in the main streets. This creates a chaos in the street itself and it is the duty for the policeman to take care the traffic jam. What if there are not enough policemen? The street jockey is the solution. They usually help the policeman in managing the street and

thus relieve the stress from the driver itself. This act not only benefits the policemen but also the drivers in the street itself. Imagine when the mad drivers sound the horn while the motorcycle is slipping between the cars. The accident would be something inevitable to happen in this situation. Fortunately when the street jockey eases the job of policemen it will finish the traffic jam problem faster. In the end the aid of street jockey in rush hour is something we cannot underestimate. Although most people see street jockeys as hindrance, it will be different from the city cleaner point of view. In certain condition such as demonstration or parade many leftover is dumped to the street by the peoples. When the Independence Day celebration is over, there are lots of leftover in the street. I see that the street jockey helps the city cleaner to clean those leftover. It is shameful for us knowing that we are not responsible enough of our city and leaving the city sanitation in the hands of the street jockeys. This feat is not something that the people of Jakarta would do and thus it proofs us how invaluable the aid of the street jockeys. In our daily lives, we have seen them as the hindrance yet it should be us that trouble our own city to this extent. As they help us in three in one, rush hour and sanitation, it should be our obligation to see them as someone better than hindrance. We have to respect them not because of their deeds but because our own defects.
