Jakarta Transportation Tips

In Jakarta we have a lots of public transportations, but for tourists I do not recommended take any city bus (unless they are shuttle bus like hotels to the malls). It is pretty dangerous to take bus while in Jakarta if you do not familiar with the area.

We have a Trans Jakarta BusWay, it is the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to travel in Jakarta. Busway will never meet a traffic jam, it is a local transportation with a station on every check points. It cost about Rp3500/less than 0.50 cents! it is cheap huh!

City Taxi, We have a lot of taxi brands in Jakarta, the most famous taxi brand and mostly all tourists are using them, are Blue Bird. They are fine and I must say it is pretty expensive. We also have a lots of other taxis. Taxi is one of the simpliest way to travel in Jakarta.

Motorcycle Taxi, Yes! We have motorcycle taxi as well! Don't take this if you have no idea where are you going to. Mostly the motorcycle taxi driver know the Jakarta area very well, they might give you tips and suggestions where to go, but becareful don't get ripped off! The most expensive way to take this transport is about 5$ or Rp50.000, with that amount, you can cross half-way Jakarta!

Bajaj, Just like in Bangkok it called Tuk-Tuk, but it is very noisy and cheap! it is fun!
