Travel across Jakarta is often a combination of many forms of
transport. Commonly used is the Transjakarta, a modern bus system
that are allocated special street lanes to circumnavigate traffic
in the city centre. These are cheap and plentiful although going
long distances can become confusing when transferring. Other bus
lines are more crowded and less safe and do not run on a fixed
schedule.
Taxis are abundant but can be expensive for longer rides. Blue Bird
taxis are the most trusted although there are many impostors with
questionable reputations. Many narrow street lanes are better
suited for ojeks, also known as motorbike taxis. Also popular for
shorter trips are three wheeled vehicles known as bajaj. Be sure to
bargain with both ojek and bajaj drivers before accepting
rides.
