The people who live in small town do not have numerous chances. Seller and farmer that have limited income become two common jobs in the small town which is far away from a huge industry. These limited options and income impact to the people who live in small town move to a larger city to get higher salary. Other following reason the people move to a large city is a good accessibility. There are many available public transportations supported by large city to gain the convenience of citizens. Interconnecting accessibilities enhance attractiveness of the people move to a large city. Jakarta become the city which have KRL, MRT, LRT, and City Bus provided to people who live there.
