Jakarta Tourism Hub: Shopping Heaven in Jakarta
I am thinking how to make Jakarta like Singapore as shopping heaven. The simplest formula would be
- create safe and centralized information for tourist regarding shopping area, accomodation, transportation
- the information could be label media which clear for passenger
- so the main point here is good and clear information from the beggining point of possible journey of tourists, from Internet, airports, bus interchange and stop, public places with clear and clear. Brochure is likely not clear.
So i begin with this article, any idea will be greatly appreciated

- Getting around
-- from Airport: a. By DAMRI bus (fare is 10.000IDR-20.000IDR/1-2EURO) (to some bus
interchange destination, generally the bus interchange is not quite safe for passenger, for
your more own safety you can get down in several more safe place such as some TRANSJAKARTA
bus stop or any stop nearest your destination); b. By Taxi (Blue Bird or old-rate-fare
Express taxi, tips: the popular and safe taxi known is blue color Blue Bird, but please
notice not any blue taxi is Blue Bird, the fare is around 100.000IDR-200.000/10-20EURO from
Airport to Jakarta)
-- By Bajay: new Gas-based Bajay or old-bajay; tips: you should ask the fare and try to
bargain for lower fares. Fare is from 5000-20000IDR/50cent-2 EURO
-- By Metromini: smaller than bus, fares is 2000IDR/20cent EURO. Beware of pickpocket
-- By Mikrolet: smaller public transport for up to 12 passengers, fare is 2000-
3500IDR/30cent EURO paid at destination and depending on the travel distance. Beware of
pickpocket and bad guys
-- By Public Bus:
-- By Mass Transport TRANSJAKARTA: not available from airport, scheduled from 10-15minutes
to cover all Jakarta area with some interchanges; fares is 3500IDR/30cent EURO; tips:
prepare to get high queue and fully crowded in certain bus stop especially just-after-
office-hour, try it to look all around Jakarta with only 30cent EURO
-- By Ojek: motorcycle, you have to ask the fare first. The driver will bring you to your
destination. This is alternative and better transport when you expect traffic-jam. Fare is
from 5000-20000IDR/50cent-2 EURO
-- By Ojek Sepeda: bicycle, you can find it in Industrial Area of Sunter of area of Kota
(kota is a place name, means city)
-- By becak: trikshaw. no more in Jakarta
