Indonesia is the six largest
country with more than 230 million peoples. 30 million of them live all over
Indonesia big city such as Jakarta,Bandung and Surabaya, make java island where
those big city are is the most crowded island. If you think mass trasportation
in Indonesia is like bus or train and taxi, then you an epic failed. Those mass
transporation couldnt handle the overpopulation in big city and so there others
type of mass transport yang peoples common use everyday.
Angkot stand for angkutan
perkotaan (city transport) basicly angkot is an car usually a mini bus that
already been modifed with no regular car seat.
So passenger sit face to face like their on a train, angkot is the most
common and wide spread mass transport in Indonesia big city. Every big city
make their angkot with a costumize signature for every destination such as
colour or number, so you have to remember this to avoid get in to the wrong
destination.
Their nothing luxury about
angkot, no air conditioner or what ever it is. Driver usually take more
passenger than the car could afford to fit in. Lucky this stupid mass
transportation is legal, so goverment who decide the rate and ussually you have
to pay the same amount for both long and short distance. Angkot in big city not always
save, expecially at night. Theres a lot of robbery and rappist inside angkot,
get in to angkot in the middle of the night alone and being a women tourist is
sunicide.
Sound weird right? I dont event
know what ojeg stand for! But one thing
for sure its the second most use mass transport and its not legal but is okay.
Ojeg is motocycle, so basicly its a two wheel version of a cab. But more easy
to find ojeg rather than a cab, you can spot ojeg in every corner of street.
You just look for low class people, ugle face, ugle wardrobe who waiting beside
motorcycle and ask “ojeg?”
Ojeg will deliver you everywhere!
Yes everywhere! But first you gotta deal the rate first, carefully ojeg drivers
usually will put a high rate, you must good at dealing the rate. Ojeg driver
also know love to scam the passenger by
telling them lies, that the destination are far away. Ojeg driver will take you
round and round in the city before arrive in you destination, make you felt
worth it to pay that much.
Gojeg stand for ojeg on-line.
This is the same thing with ojeg but its legal. And you must download gojek
apps for calling gojek driver, if you familiar with uber then its is the same
stuff but not a car, its a motorcycle. The best part of gojek is, you dont have
to look for ojek and you dont have dealing the rate with the driver. Everything
is on the apps, how many gojek driver in you area and easy to know how much you
must pay for certain distance. So you wont get fool like by the ordinary ojeg
driver.
Ok, you might ask if there any
bus or train and off course a taxi? Yes there are in each of big city. But
remember those mass transportation allready dominate by middle class peoples,
so 9-5 office hour every mass transport like bus, train and taxi will crowded
by this cubicle worker. And there no chance you will enjoy the ride beside the
crowded there also the insanely traffic jam. Wanna stuck for hours inside bus,
train and taxi with no space to move your toe?
