Solutions elusive as traffic jams Yangon
U Than Htwe and Daw Kay Thi Tun are among the millions of commuters who find themselves spending hours on Yangon’s old and overburdened public transport system every day, a routine that takes its toll on the health, well-being and income of the city’s residents.
Without an efficient mass-transport system like those in other cities in the region such as Singapore, many Yangon commuters have to rely on old Japanese and Chinese buses that are notorious for overcrowding, rude conductors and – for women – sexual harassment.
