2. Trains

A train trip is a fun way to explore places. Jakarta has three types of train:

Each type of train is slightly different in how to purchase tickets, seat arrangements, and schedules.  


3. Cars

A road trip is always a fun way to explore Sunda. Of course, renting a car is much more comfortable and convenient, but getting on a bus (or a shuttle bus) is more economical. Presently, the toll road has connected the western tip of Java in Merak to Probolinggo in East Java. These toll roads make it easier and faster to reach many destinations all over Java.


4. Ships

Jakarta has two seaports in the north. The busiest seaport is Tanjung Priok, while Marina Ancol is much smaller and intended for yachts and speedboats.
