Trying Jakarta's Public Transportation as a Foreigner
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 03. 2021
- After spending a week in Jakarta Indonesia, I decided to try Jakarta's Public Transportation as a Foreigner to see how it was. Jakarta has 3 types of public transportations, TransJakarta, MRT and KRL. But how convenient is Jakarta's public transportation compared to the taxis? Today I wen't on a journey and tried the TransJakarta buses and MRT Jakarta, it surprised me!

#Jakarta #Indonesia #TransJakarta
The Conclusion: Don't Judge Jakarta because the negative side :Flood,Traffic Jam, Polution, Take the positive side: they have a good public transportation, they have a lot of museum, so many beautiful place in jakarta you can visit, greatings from Bandung West Java😁
Exactly!! I can't tell you how many people told me "Don't go to Jakarta"
Specially south jakasia (Kuningan). It's the central business district of south east asia.
Be careful with Begal tho😁
@@alexandwhite Go To Malang,East Java too.My Home Town.Many Delicious Foods and,Many Beach In Here
That's why I prefer check on youtube and vlogger like this to see the real side of the world than believing mainstream media. Jakarta just like many other metropolitan cities around the world with the same problem especially in developing countries. Prove how powerful media bias portrayals effecting the world.
Nah
He introduces Jakarta's public transportation a lot better than local CZcamsrs
No doubt, the video doesn't look cheap at all.
He is a professional after all.
@@MyMindLikestoWander Well,most of us did this without a budget
Local youtubers lack public speaking ability
Ada bbrp yg bagus publick speaking with face,,, ttapi sayang mereka tidak memiliki drone 😄
@@IsidoreWilliamAriyanto damn right
driver bajaj : 30k
you : 20k
driver bajaj : 30k
you : 20k
driver bajaj : ok
you won! 🤣👍🏻
😂😂😂
macer noh, wwkkwkw
@Lev07 dont say that, theyre working too. if the price doesnt suit for you, then u can bargain, if still not good price, u can choose another transportation
@@ahdasempis yeah well in the end it's easier to use gojek. They have a solid price and all. Unless you really need to hurry
@@alexandwhite NICE THAT'S INDONESIA PEOPLE DO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Jakarta's public transportation is getting better. anyway welcome to Jakarta
it is! thanks for watching Neko! 🙌🏻
I'm Malaysian and I'm really impressed with Jakarta. It's improving greatly from time to time.
@@nazuha99 yes, we're Jakartans are so lucky for have such smart, wise goovernoor Mr. Anies Baswedan. PhD from USA university.
@@user-fg5pp8kr2z wow that's great! I wish to come to Jakarta sooner, and experience local traditions
You're the only bule on youtube that covering public transport in jakarta with this level of detail. I'm sold
haha thanks so much Husein! really appreciate you watching 😁🙌🏻
Safe and comfortable mobility is important. Public transport plays a big part of that to reduce private, individual car use which causes traffic, higher risk of road crash and pollution.
Thank you for highliting what Jakarta got in terms of PT, which is not bad at all ! It has certainly improved since I was last there.
Pro Tip: don't use KRL (Commuter Line) at rush hour. Rush hour to Bogor: Evening. Rush hour to Jakarta: Morning.
dont plan on using it during rush hour hahah
Krl bogor both morning and evening are rush hour..
@@djeff91 hahaha
eh ketemu di youtube wkwkwk
@@ademeidianmalik ngapain oi
The nice thing about the TransJakarta buses is that it cost the same no matter how short or long your trip is. You can technically circle the whole city using the Transjakarta buses and you'll only be charged Rp. 3.500 once you pass through the exit gate
Dude, respect all your struggles, exactly for foreigners it's so hard to using public transportation, me as a citizen even use go-car or grab car more often because many convenience stores can't refill the card. Also he deserves more likes and viewers and subscribers, he recorded all the footage perfectly even he knew jakarta was hot, big, and complicated, but he took the time to record using his drone, good video quality, etc
haha thanks so much Jeremy! Really appreciate the support, It took a while to film thats for sure 😅
GBK is the twin sister stadium of Luzhniki in Moscow. I miss Jakarta, the city of malls 😃
oh really? I actually didn't know that thanks Aditovich
yeah bro you are right. actually now there is Yury Gagarin Statue in South Jakarta Park. it simbolize our 70th relationship Indonesia - Russia. that statue is a gift from Russian Government.
Ussr
GBK was made by the Soviet Union
Yap, jakarta is the city of malls..
"Dua puluh!" Nice! Hahahha thats a really good one! Keep pushing! And pretend u wanted to leave xD
hahaha did you like my acting skills? 😆😆 i can sometimes speak basic bahasa
Hahahahah
@@alexandwhite loved the way you say 20 🤣
Lol pretend wanted to leave lucu si haha
@@alexandwhite please don't bargain for the poor people as they are working to make a living for today only
Hi Alex, I'm an Indonesian who lives in Italy for the last 7 years and I haven't gone back to Jakarta for almost 2 years now because of the pandemic. I watch some videos of yours to feel better about my homesick feeling, and through this video, I even learnt how to take the MRT since it was made recently (yes, I'm preparing myself how to re-adapt to spend time in my hometown, LOL). Anyhow, thank you for the great videos, keep it up and enjoy Indonesia!
haha thats amazing!! thanks so much for watching Della! I hope you feel less homesick watching 😁
you must to Bogor city,it's have tourisms pkace"Kebun Raya Bogor" that is one of big Garden at city it's have trees age thousands years old.
Do u have rasist experient in there?
@@justfurfan9840 fyi, No racist in Jakarta we respect each other
@@indrasaputra3695 racist in italy to asian humans not in jakarta he means
From this video, we knew, we need to add an english option on those top up machines
Yes please!
I am an Indian and I lived in Jakarta for close to an year and I love the city. Although you have MRT, Transjakarta, I had found using Gojek and Grab way more easier to move around in the city. Otherwise, people here are extremely friendly and there is a big coffee scene in Jakarta ! I love one such called "Kopi Kenengan". Thanks Alex for this video. It hit a refresh button in my memory ! I miss Jakarta and in particular SCBD very much !
yes absolutely its more convenient but I wanted to try and see how it was to use public transportation here 😁
try to ride MRT tho bro! that's fun, clean and cool haha
@@adbiasa875 yup will do next time !
He is right..
The easiest way is using online transportation..
And its cheap..
But FYI not all of over the place in Jakarta can order GoRide (motorcycle with GoJek application) or GrabBike (motorcycle with Grab application) because at this time still covid-19 we just can order taxi online / with car on both applications if that zone is red...
This is how much people watching this guy video:
95%: indonesian
5%: foreigners
hahah probably 😆
i wish we have this kind of public trans in Philippines :'(
Tapi bnyk loh orang Indonesia belom pernah ke Jakarta. Mungkin dgn video ini bisa membantu
lul
Apa salah... Barangkali ada yg pengen tau mengenai info ttg jakarta
get help from a younger generation, they’re more likely able to speak english
awesome thanks for the suggestion Ray!
I think in Jakarta you will be able to find a lot of people who can speak english well. At least they understand👍🏻
😂😂😂
Cmon man in school we have to speak japanese ,english ,java, bahasa.
@@GenZ_Crypto yeah but still there's alot of ppl that couldn't speak foreign language even tho they're learning it at their school
I’m Indonesian Brits who watch this episode for tips how to get around in Jakarta, it’s handy when I visit Indonesia this summer.
My last visit was over 10 years ago 😅 well over due . Thanks for the tips 😎👍🇬🇧
Someone in Indonesia should do something similar so foreigners like Alex can get around easily. I’m sure there are youtubers all around Indonesia who can speak good english and showcase their own cities. Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Bali etc.
Props to Alex for showing us how it’s done. After all these struggles I hope you’ll enjoy Jakarta.
kalo di surabaya sudah ada londokampung
Thanks so much bounce! Appreciate you watching 🙌🏼
Bukan speaking good english tapi “fluent english” atau “fluently” atau “speaking english fluently”
I think I can be his guide since I live not far from Central Park.
Saying Bali is a city it's on par with saying England is my city
Wow nice Jakarta. Love from Thailand 🇹🇭
Thanks for watching Waku! 😁🙌🏻
@Movie Scene maybe you're introvert hating crowded, for me as extrovert crowded is paradise
@insyaallah ganteng perhaps you are ambivert
@Movie Scene ada angkutan umum jadi ga macet , mikir gblk
@Movie Scene macet sudah biasa ngab
I can tell by your videos that you did an in depth research, the info are very helpful, great video man!
Im from Indonesia and I am very happy that tourist loved our transportation recommendations : go to bandung
it was very surprising! More people should use it when they visit jakarta!
For anyone that lives in Jakarta, is there anything you do differently that would of made my trip easier?
Me? I am using motorbike since 2004 Alex. Even though I have car now, I still use my motorbike mostly.
Besides gojek or grab, you should donwload in driver app. It come in handy when it’s raining and you need a car ride, they’re alot more cheap like half the price and you can negotiate the fare. Hope it helps!
@@ootgeorge haha well if i had a motorbike I would use that too
@@eja2493 Oh wow I didn't know that thanks!
If you have driving license for motorbike, better you use motorbike. But be careful with the reckless driver and the traffic
it's funny to watch you're doing "negotiation" with the bajaj driver lol
hahah I wanted to see if I could negotiate and get the local price 😆
Parley😂
@@alexandwhite duhh
@@alexandwhite you had better use grab or gojek. They are cheaper, easy to get and reliable...
@@jeffreysuharto747 you shouldn't make suggestion that way, please support the origin local transportation too, that would b cair enougb
I just want to say that your video is really neat, informative, and great! I almost never watched any video of vlog about Jakarta (since I've been living in the city for almost 30 years), but I really enjoy your videos!
I don't think I'll notice him as "bule" until he speaks 😂
😆😆🙌🏼🇮🇩
To be honest if I meet you first time , I have no idea you looks like bule until you speak up lol
I knew it because his eyes look caucasian
He has tan skin. Sunburning might be
Just learn local familiar bahasa and bang. Low price for you anywhere
Hahaha Indonesian actually loves helping others specially foreigner even some of them dont speak good english. But at least they could help you to get your destination
I'm so glad because i wouldn't of known how to use the public transportation without their help haha
@@alexandwhite yes, Happy to hear that their helped you to find your destination. Mind if i have your IG?
Hahaha gotcha that was the funny moment when the bajaj's driver tried to fool you with the fake price 😂 have fun bro
hahah yeah it was the same traffic as the other day, so i started walking away 😆
Will be relocating to South Jakarta from Manila in 2 months. I’m very excited to explore the city and the country. This helped a lot. Thanks, Alexander!
Glad this video got recommended to me. Haven't had a chance to go back to Indonesia due to the pandemic for 1 and half years now. Thanks.
MRT is definitely my personal fav too. Its really clean, the air conditioner works well, and its more spacious. The only disadvantage is the destination line isn't that much yet, so its limited to certain places
Me too! So shocked how clean and nice it is thanks for watching Lito! 😁
Government just started building new line from Bundaran HI to Ancol (North Jakarta) and soon another line from tangerang to Cikarang ...btw LRT will be completed soon (actually they had started in East Jakarta)
i really appreciate how you explain everything in details, and how unbiased but still very much respectful you are. thankyou for this! hope you had a great time in jakarta :)
Thank you Water Lilly! Appreciate you watching 😁🙌🏻
Yess! Those sprinkles of bitter truth like language barrier, the "low emission zone"😬 and others, it is just the right thing for the foreigns and ourself to know!
ur channel makes me flashback to the time when i live in south tangerang... i used to go around jakarta city with transjakarta bus and KRL
9:08 that announcement sound really brings up some memories to me. I used to spent my childhood in this city, and i also have an intern in national museum (near of monas bus station) so i commute using Transjakarta. I kinda miss Jakarta now...
Glad you enjoyed it Jaso 🙌🏼🇮🇩
The production quality is top notch! You probably now know more about Jakarta than most Indonesians living abroad!
Hahah thanks so much for watching Hansen, can't believe some locals don't even use the public transportation
FYI, MRT jakarta phase 2 is under construction from Bundaran HI in central Jakarta to Kampung Bandan in north Jakarta.. and maybe next year phase 3 will be built from West Jakarta to ujung menteng in East Jakarta.. Btw beside MRT, Jakarta has LRT system.. but short route..
can't wait til they finish it! It will be so useful to get around the city 😁🙌🏻
I'm Indonesian but i haven't been to Jakarta for years, Jakarta is really the capital city in Indonesia withh the massive public transportation reach! I mainly spend my life at Makassar (South Sulawesi) and Surabaya (East Java), would love to see you travel to these city too if you have a chance, as you know Indonesia have a disserve culture, and each city has their culinary too. :)
North and west jakarta(in most district) have less developed public transport and rely on taxi or personal vehicle.
Less tourist friendly in term of things for them to use.
Anyway enjoy jakarta!
main ke Riau kak lebih bagus dari Jakarta
There is no youtuber who can reply all comment, except you, wow..
i try my best 😆
Why should? 😑 at least you have question
Hold my gloves...
Thanks for this premieres on d public transportation in Jakarta, Indonesia. Will catch up n watch it later.
Thanks Yasin 😁🙌🏻
More on the prepaid car: You can use the same card for more than 1 passenger on Transjakarta buses, since the payment is done in the beginning when you enter the station (Flat rate: IDR 3,500/USD 0.24 per entrance, regardless of distance/transfers). On the other hand, each passenger on KRL (Commuter Train) & MRT need their personal card since the payment for both is done during exit from the station, as the fee depends on the distance. The current max fee for MRT from one end to another is IDR 14,000/USD 0.97 (15.7 km distance). Train is considerably cheaper (but far more crowded) where a trip from Jakarta Kota to Bogor station (54.8 km distance) will cost IDR 6,000/USD 0.42. Keep great vids like this coming!
ur doing great man,thanks for introduced jakarta so properly. enjoy ur living in this city
although I don't understand English, I am proud that you have visited Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, thank you always be healthy friends
for all public transportation in jakarta, you can use apps named 'Trafi'. it is very detail more thaan google maps
oh okay that is something i missed!
@@alexandwhite that app is really useful that it can even track buses
@@alexandwhite but i dont think they work together with transjakarta anymore... so if u want real time info on bus departures for both transjakarta and metrotrans (non BRT buses) u shud use Tije app instead! Have fun in Jakarta!
transjakarta tracking doesn't work on trafi anymore, it's now on moovit
Thank you for the video with such a positive vibe for Jakarta.. one says Jakarta is a huge kampong, but at the same time, it is "a city with thousand malls ".. so enjoy all the complexity, urban/crossed cultures, friendly people.. . my favourite is the national museum (museum Gajah) I hope you can go there! and Jakarta's MRT is my favourite too!!
Awesome thank you so much for watching Siska! Really appreciate it 😁🙌🏻
Loved your video! very well explained
Thanks for highlighting especially the two major transportation in Jakarta. It's also a great feedback from you towards the government on the difficulties for foreigners in understanding instruction on getting credits for the prepaid card on the ticket machine. Having at least an easy and handy English instruction is the norm of these days (should've been understood even at the first time they set up the system). What I can say also as someone who have used metros in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Berlin, New York, Washington DC, and Paris... we're still way behind in terms of how many lines we have. But we're getting there. I wished that the metro development had started since the end of 1990s but the Asian Financial crisis hit us hard so then the previous municipal government didn't have much budget to construct them until they can in the late 2010s. I think what's also lacking at the moment is an easy interconnection between these four major transportation (Transjakarta, MRT, Commuter Line, and LRT) but they're currently constructing such project (one of them will be located in Manggarai). Hopefully they will build more of the same project. Commuter Line nowadays are much more convenient than those times around 10 years ago. I still remember how crazy the ride was, when people can still climb to the top of the train, the dangers of pickpocketter looms large, and once I was facing someone with a big chunk of durian in front of my eyes (LOL almost hit my head too). However, the problem with the tardiness of time schedule of Commuter Line still persists to these very days. LRT is getting closer to its opening, I believe it will be launched by the end of this year. When these combined have connected to each other, I believe that the quality of life in this city will be very much improved.
You’ve done an amazing job bro. Very detailed and it helps foreigners who want to visit Jakarta. Indonesian government gotta thank to you helping on Indonesian tourism.
Thank you Ozie! that means alot 😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you Alex for visiting Jakarta. My birthplace. But, I moved to another city 15 years ago. I still get excited visiting Jakarta. Thank you so much. 👌🤟
Im from Jakarta, but now im living in Yogyakarta. I see Jakarta Transportation has better than from 2 years ago. nice.
Its incredible i'm very surprised by it!
Norak mis gombal
True, i agree with u
@@shizuka_0584 to be gratefull for better Jakarta, kok dibilang Norak.. Rasain dempet dempetan di KRL, di busway udah pernah belum? adanya MRT itu lebih baik..
Too bad the government is too jakarta sentris only focus on the capital so the other region don't get the same treatment and development
As a someone who lives in Jakarta, I'm actually proud with our public transport and would rather ride it to everywhere. Great video! So much informations and very respectful! Lots of support from Jakarta!
I love how you make videos. The angles you take, words you say, pictures, etc. I can enjoy it although I am indonesia people. Great videos brooo...
That stadium is epic loved the drone shots! Also the Hyperlapses at the beginning were my favorite part, more of those dude!
I worked for like 3 hours just on that intro! Haha glad you liked it bro thanks for watching 🙌🏼🙌🏼
hehehe. wait till the end 2021. you will see the new stadium in Jakarta it wil be called JIS Stadium (International FIFA Standard). it is plan to finish end of 2021. and also dont forget to visit motogp 2021 mandalika circuit in lombok. it will be host after motogp in malaysia circuit.
@@alexandwhite it was amazing :) that hyperlapse is beautiful !!
Thank you for visiting Jakarta, so happy to see your video walking around and trying the public transportation. Hope you will visit Jakarta again in the future :)
thank you Willy!
The first time I found your vlog, I immediately watched it, and I really like your vlog, I hope you will be happy in Jakarta
thank you so much Salsabila!! 😁🙌🏻
What a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing the video. Greetings from Japan.
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️ Japan
subscribed! feel excited to watch your next video! Hope you go to Bogor while you try KRL. Stay safe and healthy alex
Thank you Citra!! I will do a video on Bogor maybe next week 😁🙌🏻
Just found out this channel, this video appeared in my homepage, i am impressed how you really loved and enjoyed the City! i agreed what you said earlier about the Istora Mandiri Stasion, the stations are incredibly clean and nice, i always go to work by MRT, convenient transportation at affordable price😃
you did an amazing video summarize how to do travel in Jakarta which I appreciate that so much. I could only imagine how difficult it would be for foreigner but you really did amazing for figuring out. I hope you enjoy staying here and had chance to try some delicious cuisine here too. cheers x.
The MRT is so cool,
Recent news is the government of Indonesia will apply the MRT system to some other cities as well,
Wow wish they have it in bali by near future,
Anyway need lots of improvement of public information in English as a tourist friendly country 👍
That would be amazing if they brought it to Bali too wow
Well MRT in Jakarta already in English. The others, yes maybe in the future with many tourists/foreigners come in here, they could improve that.
That's true, indonesia goverment will build MRT/LRT in 5 cities. They are bandung, surabaya (Java island)
Medan ( sumatra)
Makassar ( Sulawesi)
And taddaaaaa... (Bali)🤩🤩🤩
Hope this plan soon be come true
Sometimes I take MRT until Blok M BCA station to Blok M Plaza... It looks like Siam Paragon for me when I was visiting Bangkok...
If I want take another public transportation like KRL / Commuter Line I take MRT until Dukuh Atas station and take it in Sudirman stasion...
@@cahyonugroho3290 Yes... Especially LRT we just can take from Velodrome station... So, we must first take Transjakarta bus corridor 4 until Pemuda Rawamangun... We can take that LRT to La Piazza and MKG / Mal Kelapa Gading...
Another LRT still under construction...
Nice to see u growing quickly lately👍 love it😁
Thanks so much guys! Really appreciate you watching 🙌🏻😁
Thank you for visiting Indonesia, especially Jakarta, and thank you for giving an honest review, I hope you are happy
You must be drenched in sweat walking that much in Jakarta's heat 😅 And yes, KRL do need its own episode. Try to get in on rush hour 😁
you have no idea 😆😆 I cut out a talking part in the video that said i'm glad i'm not wearing a white shirt right now 😂
Very informative, thanks
when you want return to the airport, you can use the airport railink.
I heard about that thanks Febri! I will film that when I am going to leave Jakarta
Google maps is coming so handy for touring around Jakarta using public transportation!
I use it literally everywhere I go haha
this video will very useful for foreign people who want to visit jakarta,thanks to upload this one
Thanks a ton Alex! Really helpful.
If you're going to try the commuter train, i recommend to try the cikarang line cause it's stations are relatively new. But if you are going to Bogor, dont forget to visit the botanical garden cause its the must go place in bogor. Good luck with your adventures bro!
Orang belum jadi stasiunnya elu suruh kesono tolol banget lu,....lagian juga cari stasiun yg bagus ngapain jauh2 sampe cikarang,....jatinegara,buaran,klender,cakung,kranji juga udah bagus,....dasar railfan abal2 lu ya ...
Thanks Muhammad! yes many have recommended the garden, i will add that to the list of things to see there
Jgn suruh ke cikarang bang kasian gersang, kaga ada apa2 juga dimarih wkwk
@@rama_ape iya sih, tapi stasiun2nya relatif baru dan megah2 bro, supaya keliatan image krl yg terbaik sih
iya, jgn cikarang, ga ada apa2 disana selain pabrik sama tempat pijit plus haha.
Hi Alex, agree, Bogor is a such nice place. Botanical park is number one recommended place. you can go there by KRL and continue with grab/gojek bike. Avoid the 'Angkot' (small bus transportation) because of it complication (long time wait, language barrier etc) and Bogor also has plenty of good cafes to visit
It's funny to hear you pronounce 'Bundaran HI' 😁
We pronounce H = 'ha' & I = 'ee', so it is not pronounced 'hai' but 'ha-ee' and actually it is an abbreviation of 'Hotel Indonesia'. It is located beside the bundaran (circle) and now it is part of Kempinski hotel chain.
In the middle of the bundaran/fountain there is Patung Selamat Datang (Welcome Statue), above it there are two statues, male and female, who are waving and welcoming people from around the world...
Enjoy your days in Jakarta..! 😉
this is very cool, even though you have a little trouble there, but still calm, I really like this
Thank you Ibri! appreciate you watching 🙌🏻
Hiya. Great video. Always informative. Great drone shots. Cool tunes. Always enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Alex, great video :) GBK area is actually in south central Jakarta, but it actually really more in central Jakarta. It is the main sport complex & probably the biggest in Jakarta and in Indonesia. Taman Anggrek area is in west central Jakarta, so it actually still pretty central. And if you go directly from Taman Anggrek to GBK area is actually not that far if you go straight, even by Transjakarta bus it probably only takes 20 minutes with 4 stops exiting in Senayan. GBK is in senayan area. So Taman Anggrek is really still quite central eventhough technically in west Jakarta. Can’t wait for more of your Jakarta video...
Ah okay thanks for explaining this! Yeah I really liked the GBK area I have to go back and explore more of it
Hes pro in bargaining with locals now haha! Annasstasia taught him well from the last bajaj video🤣.
I had a great teacher hahah 😆
It's good to see you satisfied with jakarta public transport. I suggest you also to try LRT in East Jakarta since it's the newest one. You can grab it with transjakarta or commuter line (KRL).
Yes I’ll be trying out the KRL when I go to bogor
Good job bro, i was local who's now been living abroad since ages. Used to live in Jakarta for 3 years, how the city has changed for good now, unbelievable. Thanks so much for the report, very informative, and hey....have fun
I hope you don't get bored enjoying the crowded Jakarta atmosphere with the very hot weather. Even though Jakarta has problems in transportation management and instructions for using transportation for foreigners, I think you enjoy the public transportation such as Bajaj, TransJakarta, Electric Commuter Train, etc. facilities provided by the Provincial Government of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta. Enjoy your life in Jakarta, Alexander White.
so far i'm not getting bored haha thanks for watching Zofrano 😁🙌🏻
How could say Jakarta has transportation problems recently, this City has Just been awarded as the Most progressive and innovative City the world in the matter of intergrated transportation system particularly for the past 2 years.
Where do you live and spend your time anyway? You said that as if you were somebody Who didnt leave in Jakarta, go and see traveling and look around the City then you Will understand
@@azeiras Traffic jam still exists. Angkot and "ngetem" culture are still problematic in many areas in suburb Jakarta. Transportation problem is not solved yet. Still far to go.
@@kuntarinirahsilawati920of course still there's some problems left there.
as you said that is a"culture", do you know that nobody could change a culture that has been lived for years, ini Just one clap like that, it Will take several steps with grand design and very precise plan and of course it require full commitment and atitudes from entire ciitizen like you and me as well. And definetly needs sometimes and years to be perfectly sophisticated.
But that i wanna tell you is, if you are truely a ciitizen of Jakarta then you supposed to bare witness how Jakarta change radically and dramatically from a very crowded polluted slam City with very lack of save and comfort public transportations into the much better situations that we experienced nowdays in Jakarta, and this only happened IF You are really a ciitizen from the City. Thx
I'm Indonesian but i could see the different side of Jakarta from your video.. Your video is so amazing
thanks so much Hamidha! I really appreciate you watching 😁
im amaze how u travel to that place ...with lots of communication barriers ... ur so brave.
Thank you very much for showing the beauty of our cities, we very much appreciate it
U can use integrated card called Jaklingko, it's cheaper, reached to microbus as well and can top up by phone using BNI bank account called tap cash go.
Hey alex, i recommend going to pik golf island, it's a newly developed area by pik (pantai indah kapuk). You can bike (or jog) there in the morning or evening as it's popular for bikers, theres a lot of shop to rent bikes from, they give reasonable prices. People usually bike around the pier or just go wonder around the island. YoU can also take cool drone shots as its by the ocean. There's also a little china town but this one is organized unlike the one near kota tua. If u decide to go back at the evening maybe take a walk through pik as it is very lively at night(around 6pm and above), a lot of restaurants and bars for dinner. For transportation, you can take transjakarta from the s. Parman podomoro city station (assuming you live by central place and taman anggrek) taking route 9 towards pluit and transit at penjaringan stop and take 1a route going for gold coast pik towards pik,(btw theres a huge bridge there, you can take drone shots there) from there you can ride a gojek or grab bike to the island (or just walk across the huge bridge), its like a 5 to 10 minutes ride. I use traffi app to find my transjakarta route, but it might be easier for you to use google maps.
Thanks Lu!! yeah going to do a video at PIK this weekend probably
Hope you'll have lots of funnnnn!😁
PIK car culture is as bad as America. They hate pedestrians so much they created a whole island just to spit on them. Anywhere in PIK isn't within walking distance. Stay away from that rich ghetto
@Ngeselin Asw Emang yah orang Indonesia otaknya cuma sampai segitu aja. Kalau bahas urban planning dan bilang kalau area suburban yg bergantung pada mobil pribadi itu buruk pasti direply "iri." Ga pernah gue nemuin hal yg sama di forum atau grup luar
@Ngeselin Asw kalo semua jadi trader, gabakalan ada tempat untuk trader lagi mah
Good video. Nice presentation, useful information, and decent videography. I'm interested to watch more of your video. I'm subscribing now!
also pay attention of the rush hour when youre taking the KRL bcs it can be really packed. the prepaid card can be used by more than one person if youre taking the transjakarta or mrt, but not the KRL.
I wish I'm in Jakarta , so I could teach you how to deal with Bajaj....LOL, Great video bro...Cheers from Canada🇨🇦, I will make lots of Video as well , if I am in Jakarta.
Hahah that would be awesome! 😆🙌🏼
About the card if you use it for transjakarta/busway, it can be used for more than 1 person. But for mrt or commuter line you can not do it because the fare is based on your destination while for Transjakarta the fare is flat everywhere.
Awesome thanks so much for explaining this Nita! 😁
@@alexandwhite my pleasure. Hope you enjoy Jakarta. Btw I live in Bogor, I see from your video that you plan to go to Bogor. It's a small city and the weather is not as hot as Jakarta, it often rains. We welcome you here 🇮🇩✌.
@@d_culinary thank you will try to plan for next week!
Enjoy to Jakarta brother! I ve seen that your video in West Jakarta actually Central Park
Thanks Alex, very interesting and helpful
Hey Alex, actually I don’t know why your video pop out on my screen, but it’s really nice to watch your videos, and in jakarta actually if you need help you just need to ask the people, they will try their best to help you. Even tho there is “language barrier “ hahaha
Welcome to jakarta and stay safe stay healthy

Great video man,

Alex! that's very interesting when you topped up the card. Somehow it helps to understand how to deal with public transportation today in Jakarta, a city that I used to live in 7 years ago, which is completely different now! way better and more efficient. Can't wait to follow your journey to Bogor! Visit the botanical garden there. Keep safe! Greeting from Ireland ☘
Thanks so much for watching Tubagus 😁🙌🏻🙌🏻 appreciate it man
That new MRT is looking pretty impressive. Way to go Jakarta!
I loved it!!
FYI this video is useful not only for foreigners but also locals who haven't been or haven't visited Jakarta for a while. So good on you. Have fun exploring and stay safe.
Love your videos, strangely relaxing
As an Indonesian who spent 3 years living in Japan, I can't believe Indonesia's MRT is done. (*might be even better than Japan have)
@Miranda lambert This is only supposed to be a test
Kontraktornya kan perusahaan Jepang join sama BUMN kakak, yg danain juga Jepang. Jadi tidak perlu diragukan kalo keliatannya lebih bagus dr yg di Jepang karena mereka kan belajar dr pengalaman 😁
@Miranda lambert hmmmmmmmm as an motorbike rider, I doubt this, before the pandemic, after working hours are over from sudirman to lebak bulus took 45 minutes (when conditions were in extreme traffic it could be more than 1 hour)
Lmao Mrt Train Are currently Build by japan, Also Japan is more Developed than that.
Mrt Itu import bro dari jepang, Kalau Lrt jabodebek baru dari PT Inka....
@Miranda lambert but yeah come on, let’s hope this to be better near future. Developing country right ?
Thank you for visiting my country have a nice day
thank you for watching Dava!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Your video editing is so amazing! I love it
Thank you Aggi! 😁🙌🏻
Thank you for making this video, appreciate it
Thanks for watching Kevin
Visit Bogor on weekdays. But, from Jakarta, you go against the rush hours. Lots of people live in Bogor and its surroundings work in Jakarta. Enjoy your time 🙋♂👌
Yeah I'm going to try and see if i can avoid rush hour
as an indonesian, you as a foreigner just nailed that journey from north jakarta to south jakarta. Its insane how u can do all of that so easily lol.
@Mathew tell me if u go to tokyo and u want to go to shibuya from shinjuki? Can u do it on the first try?
@Mathew it used to be not that way until recently
wow Alex, your video is detail and amazing! thank you so much
Thanks for watching Umi!!

16:17 you can use 1 prepaid together with another person only in transjakarta bus if I am not mistaken. Their system is kinda old
