If you have a plan to visiting Jakarta, you should know how distinct this city is. As one of the highest population city in the world, Jakarta also has many problems with public transportation. Consequently, people are always taking a motorcycle or car by themselves. Traffic seems like a flock of birds do a migration.
However, there is always a way to easily looking around in Jakarta. I am summarizing 6 Best Public Transportation in Jakarta. Their transportation is always be used by local people or foreigner.
1. Busway
Busway (also calls Transjakarta) is a business which brings passengers in the line on the middle street. This way separately only for the busway. Busway has almost all of the main roads in Jakarta, furthermore, there also route to the nearest city.
We can say that the fee is very expensive – only Rp. 3.500 for each passenger. Moreover, during passenger still in the shelter, they can go everywhere the busway shelter is located. The most problematic for a foreigner is they need to buy e-money to using this bus – a card is Rp 50.000.
2. Commuter line
Commuter line is train which operates in Jobadetabek (Jakarta, Bogor, Tanggerang, Bekasi). Time of departures and arrives exactly accurate. Always full in busy hours, the commuter line is also being favourites by travellers who love to visit the nearest city in Jakarta. For instance, to Bogor from Jakarta only takes 60 minutes and the fee is no more than Rp 10.000.
Similar to the busway, commuter line requires e-money as an entrance ticket.
