On the one hand, the growth in the number of motorcycles indicates a strengthening performance of the automotive industry and consumer purchasing power. The increasing number of motorcycles also helps the movement of people, goods, and services, thus contributing to economic growth.
On the other hand, the growth of motor vehicles can also have negative impacts, such as increased traffic congestion, air pollution, and increased consumption of fuel oil (BBM), which is heavily reliant on imports.
