Jakarta, Indonesia
How to travel around Jakarta — 5 options, what they cost, and which booking apps fix the fare before you go.
Bus rapid transit on dedicated lanes — the longest BRT network in the world, and immune to the gridlock.
A north-south metro line, clean and fast, with more under construction.
Motorbike and car booking. The motorbike option is the only reliable way to beat the traffic.
Suburban trains reaching Bogor and Tangerang, very cheap and very crowded at peak.
Orange three-wheelers, negotiated rather than metered, and steadily being phased out.
Agreeing the fare in an app before you travel removes the argument at the end of the journey, which is where most transport scams happen. Links go to each app's official page — lookalike apps are themselves a scam.
Indonesian super-app: motorbike and car rides, food, payments and deliveries.
The main alternative to Gojek, with essentially the same service mix.
Long-established metered taxi operator with its own booking app.
Books trains, flights, ferries and intercity buses across the archipelago.
