Transportation in Indonesia
Transportation in Indonesia is diverse, reflecting the country's vast archipelago of over 17,000 islands. The primary modes of transport include motorcycles, buses, and trains, which are commonly used in urban areas. Ferries connect the islands, while air travel is essential for longer distances, with numerous domestic flights available.
In cities like Jakarta, traffic congestion is a significant issue, leading to the development of public transport systems such as the TransJakarta bus rapid transit and the MRT Jakarta. Additionally, traditional forms of transport, like ojeks (motorcycle taxis) and bajaj (auto rickshaws), remain popular for short trips.
