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

Ride-hailing & taxis

Gojek's hometown. With world-class traffic, motorbike taxis (GoRide/GrabBike) are the fastest way around. For cars use Gojek or Grab - and if you must hail on the street, sky-blue Bluebird only.
