Using an Ojek

Ojek motorcycle taxis serve short journeys through Jakarta’s streets and narrow lanes. Consider the exposed ride as well as the distance, and settle the fare before a street-arranged trip.

Why go

An ojek can cover a local stretch where a motorcycle is more practical than a larger vehicle, particularly in narrow streets. You travel as a passenger behind the rider, so this is a different comfort decision from taking a taxi. Use the destination and your willingness to ride a motorcycle to guide the choice.

Useful to know

For a ride arranged directly with a driver, agree on the destination and fare before setting off.
