In most communities in Indonesia, public transportation is very diverse. It includes minibuses, motor rickshaws, and other small passenger vehicles owned by locals.
You can travel around the cities of Indonesia by bis buses, bemo buses, moto-taxis, angkotas, bajajs, bicycle rickshaws, and horse-drawn carriages. Whichever mode of transportation you choose, the fare is paid directly to the driver. Only city buses have special ticket takers.
Depending on the distance traveled, the fare in Indonesia will vary. For example, short distances can be covered for IDR 5,000, while longer distances will cost around IDR 20,000.
If you don't know what kind of public transportation in Indonesia to choose, city buses are popular only with locals, as they are old and worn out looking and usually packed with people. Bemo shuttle buses are very popular with tourists. They are very maneuverable and fast.
