Indonesia

Jakarta

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

Bajaj

The blue three-wheeled bajaj works the back streets. No meter - the price is what you agree before boarding, so know the going rate: Rp15,000-25,000 for short hops. For a fixed price, a Gojek bike does the same job.

How to ride

1
Agree the fare first

Show your destination (a Google Maps screen works best) and settle the price. Never negotiate mid-ride.
2
Walk away from bad quotes

Another bajaj is always coming - if the quote feels inflated, wave it off and wait.
3
Pay with exact cash

Drivers rarely carry change - have the exact agreed amount ready.
