Indonesia

Jakarta

Indonesia's capital of ten million. One of the world's largest BRT networks and a metro run clear of the jams.

Airport access (Soekarno-Hatta)

The airport train dodges the traffic risk (about 50 minutes, Rp70,000, no cash). With luggage or late at night, use Gojek/Grab/Bluebird - but Jakarta traffic makes road times unpredictable. Pad your schedule.
