Smart Travel Tips

 

Navigating Depok & Jakarta like a pro isn’t just about knowing your trains from your buses. It’s about being ready for the unpredictable.

  • Always check Google Maps and real-time transit apps before leaving.
  • Travel outside rush hours when possible—Jakarta traffic is very real.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for help—locals are usually happy to assist.
  • Learn a few key Bahasa Indonesia phrases: even just “berapa harganya?” (how much is it?) goes a long way.
  • Keep your student ID handy—some services offer discounts or priority access.

 

And most importantly? Embrace the journey. There will be delays, detours, and probably some sweat. But you’ll also discover hidden neighborhoods, street food stalls, and the quiet thrill of finding your own way in one of Southeast Asia’s biggest cities.
