Becak: Jogja Cycle Rickshaw

For short journey inside the city, you can choose this traditional means of transportation. No machine, no AC, no window. Jogja people call it "becak". It is pulled by a person on foot. It carries the passenger in the front seat. It is easy to find along the main street of Jogja such as Malioboro street.

Be sure to haggle to get the best price. You can also ask the driver to wait while you are shopping and take you back home/hotel. The rate for a short journey within the city, particularly to/from Malioboro area, should not exceed Rp 20.000,-
