One of the options is travelling by bus. If you don't mind using public transportation, this option may suit you. Recently, Jogja provides an exclusive bus service namely TransJogja. The bus has its own shelter and routes within the city. It operates from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. You just have to find the shelter and pay Rp. 3000,- for a single trip regardless the distance. You can also find the map on the wall of every shelter or just ask the attendants. Travelling by this bus is comfortable because it is air-conditioned and relatively safe.
Another type of bus is the regular city bus which is non-AC and cheaper. You just have to pay the flat rate: Rp. 2500,- to the helper inside the bus. It operates from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. and does not have particular shelter. The number (usually attached in the front or rear window of the bus) indicates the route of the bus. Generally, passengers can get on and off everywhere. When you want to get down, tell the helper of the bus and he will shout to the driver indicating the next stop. But be careful during your journey in this kind of bus. Watch, or better never bring, your valuable belongings because pickpockets are everywhere.
So, enjoy your travelling on the bus :)
