Jakarta

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

MRT & LRT

Jakarta's answer to its legendary traffic - clean, fast, and astonishingly cheap. But cash won't work: you need an e-money card (Flazz etc.) or a QR app. Assume your bank card won't tap in.

    Buy a Flazz or e-Money card at convenience stores (Indomaret, Alfamart) or stations and top it up.
  2. 2
    Tap in

    Line up at the markings and board

    Tap out with the same card
