Transjakarta

Transjakarta is one of Jakarta's mass transportation systems. The problem with Transjakarta begins with the stations. The flat-top steel and glass enclosures have no ventilation at all. By the time the bus arrives, you will be drenched in sweat. It's hard to imagine how one could design a bus station to be any more uncomfortable.

If you are lucky enough to push your way onto the bus, you need to hang on, because it's like a sardine can. The buses are air-conditioned, but it doesn't help much when the bus is overcapacity. Pickpockets abound so you should be very careful with your belongings.
