Planning Tips
- For getting around, buses and angkots are more practical than private cars due to one-way traffic and limited parking.
- To take an angkot, raise your hand to board and shout "Kiri!" to stop; ask locals for route guidance.
- Bring cash in small denominations for angkot fares (typically Rp2,000–5,000).
- Stay in well-lit areas at night to minimize safety risks.
