Traffic in Bandung can be very challenging, especially on weekends or long holidays because of flocks of visitors from neighboring cities, particularly from Jakarta. During these congested times, on foot might be the best means of transportation to see Bandung, if you stay around the city center.

Click pictures below for more and bigger photos of transportation in Bandung.

Wherever you walk, you should pay extra attention to local drivers and bikers. As mentioned earlier, it is rare to see drivers giving way to pedestrians, and people usually cross roads anywhere they like. Should you find it hard to cross a very busy street, ask a favour from a local resident nearby, who usually more than happy to help each other, to assist you crossing the street. You can say this simple sentence "bisa bantu aku ke sana?" (/bee-sa bun-too a-koo khe sa-nah/), which literarily means "can you help me getting there?". Many pedestrian walkways or sidewalks in Bandung are not stroller friendly either. Though some people might think it is still manageable, other people might think it is very difficult to move around with stroller there. A few pictures of pedestrian walkways here might give you a heads up.

Note: due to fuel prices hiked in 2013, expect to pay a little more, between Rp. 500 to Rp. 1,000.

BICYCLE

Today Bandung has bicycle as one of traveller options to explore the city. A local community has set up what they call "Bike Sharing" where they have 5 bicyle 'shelters' thoughout the city, one of them is located in Jalan Ir. H. Juanda (Dago). They operate from 8am to 4pm daily and charge Rp. 3,000 per hour. Check out their Facebook for more and latest information on this Bike Sharing Bandung.

BECAK

The picture right on top corner is another option for going from one place to another in Bandung. It’s called Becak ( /bé-chuck/ the local version of cycle rickshaw/pedicabs). To avoid being ripped off by the driver, you should cross-check with your hotel staff for the latest fares. The fare usually varies around Rp. 7,000 to Rp 20,000, depending on your traveling distance. As a reference a distance of approximately 1.5 kilometers, which can be reached in about 7 minutes, costs Rp. 10,000. It can be an interesting experience to have a go!

PUBLIC BUS

Public bus is also available at cheap fares, compared to developed countries’ standards, Rp. 4,500 per trip. Public buses do not cover extensive areas in Bandung and one of the main considerations, if you have to take it, is waiting time. Bus drivers may wait for a full load before departing. How long do they have to wait? Nobody knows the exact time, except the driver himself!

ANGKOT

The most common way for locals to move around is by Angkot (Angkutan Kota /Unk-Cot/ ), small public minivans. You will see these angkots in many colors: green, light blue, light brown, yellow, and so on, and their fares really depend on your travelling distance. It’d be better to ask other passengers (or the driver) for the right fare. As a rough idea, a short distance of about 1-2 kilometer, such as a trip from Cihampelas Street to Bandung Indah Plaza/Hyatt Hotel, will cost you only Rp.2,000, while a longer distance will normally be around Rp. 4,000.

Give the money to the driver when you are getting off. Not all angkots have air conditioning, and they have a side passenger door opening. 10 Passengers can be squeezed in this small minivan, sitting facing each other, usually with 4 on the left side and 6 on right side of the minivan If you are a really tall person, then you will have a problem in making yourself comfortable in there. However, when roads are gridlock-free this angkot can save some of your time. Angkot drivers have habits to honk to get passenger’s/people’s attention, and everybody who is standing on curbs. By the way, you can get on and get off anywhere you like, just hail for them to hop on, and say “Stop” or “Kiri” ( /kee-ree/ - meaning: Left) to hop off.

Two kinds of angkot and a public bus in Bandung

An angkot’s direction is noticeable from station names written on the upper part of its windscreen and rear window. For instance “Ledeng-Cicaheum” or “Ledeng-Cicaheum pp” or “Cicaheum-Ledeng (pp)” all mean the same: it goes from Ledeng station to Cicaheum station and vice versa. Asking locals will help you in taking the right angkot direction.

Comment:	Cheapest way may not be the easiest way, especially for foreigners travelling in a group in Bandung. May be you can try to arrange a car rental (a minivan) and ask them to pick you all up at the airport and hire them for a few days (don't forget to bargain!). Contact details can also be found here (we just provide information, we don't provide commercial transactions). Thanks for your visit to our website Sim and we wish you have a pleasant holiday in Bandung!

Comment:	Halo Kartini, ke Ciwidey bisa naik bus umum atau "angkot" (L300) dari Terminal Leuwipanjang atau juga dari Terminal Kebun Kalapa. Dari Terminal Ciwidey dilanjut angkot lagi yang menuju ke arah Kawah Putih. Ongkos total seharusnya dibawah Rp. 15.000 untuk sekali jalan (bisa tanya penumpang kiri kanan untuk konfirmasi ongkos "terbaru"). Demikian, selamat berlibur ya.
Name:	kartini	14 Apr 2013
Comment:	Mau tanya klu dr gua batu atw buah batu (saya kurang jelas) mau ke kawah putih ciwidey itu naik angkutan umum apa selain taksi ya,dan berapa untuk kisaran ongkosnya
Name:	JoTravelGuide	22 Oct 2012
Comment:	Terima kasih untuk kunjungan dan komentarnya kang Teguh. Ongkos taksi bisa bervariasi, tergantung perusahaan taksi, jarak yang ditempuh sama si supir dll. Tapi untuk kisaran harga, sekitar Rp. 30.000, sekali lagi ini hanya kisaran harga (jangan lupa tinggalkan komentar Anda mengenai ongkos taksi Anda disini ya, jika Anda jadi naik taksi :) Untuk angkot, Anda harus berganti-ganti angkot. Salah satu alternatifnya adalah naik yang menuju ke Terminal Kalapa (sekitar 20 menit, Rp. 2.500) dan dari sana naik yang mengarah ke Binong, turun di depan Trans Studio Bandung (sekitar 20 menit, Rp. 2.500). Semoga bisa membantu. (Jangan lupa untuk ikutan "Like" Facebook kami di www.facebook.com/JoTravelGuideDotCom).

Comment:	Halo Nury, Jarak dari terminal Cicaheum ke airport "lumayan" jauh, terutama kalau naik angkot. Naik taksi akan lebih nyaman, tetapi pastikan taksi Anda memakai argo (meter). Contoh taksi yang menggunakan argo adalah Blue bird, GR Taksi atau Taksi Kota Kembang. Hotel dekat airport: Anda dapat bermalam di dekat station kereta api Bandung, karena selain berada di daerah wisata, airport juga tidak jauh dari sana (hanya dalam hitungan beberapa menit Anda bisa sampai di airport). List hotel berharga relatif murah dapat dilihat disini: http://www.jotravelguide.com/ID/indonesia/bandung/hotel_bintang_2.php. Semoga perjalanan Anda selama di Bandung menyenangkan. Salam dari kami, JoTravelGuide.com
