The Metro Mini
The Metro Mini is one of the public transportations in Jakarta. There's many different kinds of transportation:
1. Mikrolet / Ankot
2. Metro Mini
3. Bajaj
4. Taxi
5. Busway
The Metro Mini is a bus that is bigger then the mikrolet but smaller then the busway. Its an interesting experience going on the Metro Mini. People jump on while it is still moving, and people jump off while it is still moving. However it does also make official stops. Some locals hop on the bus and play music for those who are riding the bus, of course this is to make some money. But it is quite entertaining. This is the closest that public transportaion has ever gotten to a rollar coaster ride. It is so bumpy and rough! Its not a pleasant ride, but its cheap and gets you where you need to go. My local friend won't let me take this by myself, because its sort of dangerous, many people get robbed and harassed on this bus. So I stay away from it, because I'm an easy target since I'm a bule.
