Around Jogja by Bus

Being in a tourism city, you won't find it difficult to get around Jogja. There are many kinds of transportation available to take you to your destination.

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 :)

Meet Jogja, the Never Ending Asia

As a major tourist destination, Jogja offers beautiful and unique places to visit. Jogja, which official name is Yogyakarta Special Region, is located in Java Island. As a special province, Jogja is located at the south of Central Java province and thus surrounded by some cities of Central Java Province.

How to get to Jogja?


The first alternative is by plane. Jogja has Adisucipto International Airport located about 9 km from the town. This airport offers domestic flight to big cities in Indonesia as well as international flight to Singapore or Malaysia. You can also find a train station within which connect this airport with the main train station in Jogja: Tugu Central Railway Station for executive and business class trains and Lempuyangan Railway Station for mostly economy class trains. Yes, train is the second alternative of transportation. Take the executive or business class if big city is your destination. For travelling to small cities, you can take economy class instead. Another means of entering Jogja is by bus. Giwangan central bus station connects big cities in Java or other islands. For local ride, you can find TransJogja bus shelter within Adisucipto airport to other shelters around the town.
