Logistic and traffic efficiency in Jakarta

Jakarta traffic jammed is getting serious. While some action might be taken, but let see some perspectives: Economic and theory of liquid flow.
Since started of Bus way lane, we identified some bottle neck already. Some of them:
3 bottle nect from Semanggi to Cawang, due to bus stop and/or pedestrian bridge.
What are the economic impact:
- If average delay due to this bottle neck is 20 minutes/vehicle/day
- If average vehicle cross this area 10000 units/day
- If fuel in efficiency due to the traffice is 0.2 liter
- If fuel cost is USD 1 per litter
- If working day per year is 250 days
So the economic per year = 10000 * 0.2 l * USD 1 * 250 = USD 500.000
This is more than enough to finance for the bottle necking of this section.... True?
I wonder if the authority responsible did not recognized this..
Even worst economic if we consider human brain potential that wasted in this traffic jam...
How can we (Indonesia) could compete with others?
