Transit

Indonesia's transit has improved sharply in Jakarta, which now has an MRT, LRT, the extensive TransJakarta bus rapid transit and KRL commuter rail. Elsewhere residents rely on app-based motorbike taxis (Gojek, Grab), angkots and buses. Intercity travel on Java is well served by trains, while buses, ferries and budget flights connect the sprawling archipelago. Walkability is limited by heat and traffic.
