Transport
The public transport system in Jakarta is very well developed. There are about ten bus companies. Regularly run large city buses, the fare for which - 2000 rupees. Travel by large express buses also costs 2000 rupees, and a trip with transjakarta buses equipped with air conditioning will cost you 3,500 rupees, but they are more comfortable and the people there are less. Remember that in crowded buses the risk of pocket theft increases, a trip on an expensive bus will be more safe and convenient.

The cost of a taxi in Jakarta is 5000 rupees for the first kilometer and 250 rupees for every next hundred meters. Make sure that the counter is on.
