Angkot Drivers, They’re Good at Algorithms
Angkot = Angkutan Kota = City Transportation (Eng.)
This is from my experience, using Indonesian angkot for many years…
Actually, angkot drivers are good at algorithms, you can see it everytime in their behaviour.
On the road, when it’s getting crowded, they usually use “greedy algorithm” to make their car go forward, tough maybe finally that way will spend much more time.
About the seat, angkot drivers usually use “knapsack algorithm” to maximize the number of person to go with.
The last one, do you realize, in some case angkot drivers used to take another way to go, they actually use “network flow algorithm” to get their destination faster, hehe…

But that’s good!
it means that angkot drivers (in Indonesia) are clever!!
He he he…
It could be a good joke later…

and of course, sometime they use “brute force” method to get something the want.
