"Ojek" Jakarta Transportation Tip by kenningst

Jakarta Transportation: 139 reviews and 152 photos

 
 

If it is not raining and the traffic is really terrible, hop on one of motorcycle transportation called Ojek. I could not differentiate between the ordinary guy who is riding a motorcycle and an Ojek guy as they all look the same but the only way to know is that the Ojek guys will be calling "ojek, ojek" and thus you know. You really need a nerve of steel if you want to ride one of these. Trust me...

Remember to negotiate the price before hopping on a ride. I took a 15 minutes ride in the traffic jam from Kota station to ITC Mangga Dua for Rp7000.

Mode: AROUND
Type: Motorcycle
