Urban Transport

In cities, colour-coded or numbered minibus bemos might run fixed circuits, or adapt their routes according to their customers. Rides usually cost a few hundred rupiah, but fares are never displayed, and you'll get overcharged at first. Other standbys include ojek (single-passenger motorbikes) and becak (cycle-rickshaws), which take two passengers. Jakarta and Banjarmasin also have motorized becak, called bajaj . Negotiating fares for these vehicles requires a balance of firmness and tact; try for around Rp1000 for ojek and Rp500 a kilometre for bajaj or becak, though you'll have to pay more for the latter if there are any hills along the way. They are also notoriously tough customers - never lose your temper with one unless you want a serious fight.
