Never Worry About Transportation

Source: http://www.globalindonesianvoices.com/

Traveling around Indonesia won’t be difficult. There are different ways to travel around. You have the following options to ride the train, the bus (a different kind of bus service is available in Jakarta, it is referred to as the Bus Rapid Transit), Angkot (City Transport), taxis, and you can even book a ride via GoJek or Grab (both are mobile application based ride hailing services similar to Uber). The difference between the cost of booking a ride via GoJek or Grab compared to traditional taxis are minimal. You also get the benefit of having a transaction record of your trip and your driver.

But if you insist on hailing a ride via the traditional taxi, you should keep in mind that most taxi drivers in Indonesia don’t speak English. It would help a lot to have your destination written in Bahasa or to show them a map. And not all taxis provide good service, some small taxi operators actually can be scrupulous. Better choose and only travel with reputable and reliable taxi companies. The most reliable taxis are the ones run by Bluebird, they can be found cruising, at cab stands and at many hotels.
