The good thing about Indonesia is
that many times you can walk to get to places. Unlike many cities in North
America (like Los Angeles) which force you to drive, you can actually walk or
take public transportation in Indonesia.
If you don't have to drive in Indonesia, don't.
Indonesians drive on the left-side of the street, as oppose to the
right(correct)-side. (Pun intended). Many streets are narrow. They are good for
two cars, one in each direction, with only a few feet or inches between the two
cars. Some people also park their cars on the street (no room for garage),
making it more difficult to drive. On top of that, you have to be careful with
motorcyclists, people walking (also jaywalking) on the streets, and public
transportation cars or buses which stop and cut you in an unpredictable manner.
Public transportation includes:
- trains
- buses
- taxis
- "angkutan kota" (mini busses)
- bajaj
- "ojek" (motorcycle taxi). You'll ride on it.
- traditional vehicles: "becak" (a
three-wheel cycle thing, the driver paddle on the back), "delman" or "andong".
Public transportations are not convenient, but usable.
It can take you from point A to point B reasonably.
