chanyeolears 2,221 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I live there. So many traffic jam but that's because the public transportations aren't equal to the big population. And people here prefer to live in a house than in a apartment so the roads aren't that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kish 2,929 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Pro: 1. Wide variety of culinary spot from the cheap street foods, to fancy af cafes/resto/coffee shop. If you lookin for some good food with minimal price, I recommend Glodok. It's basically the chinatown in Jakarta. If you want to be a bit fancy, there are some places like Pantai Indah Kapuk. And also South Jakarta bcs South Jakarta are basically the hippest part of Jakarta where there are so many youngsters hanging out there. There's a plenty of cafes/restos especially in Senopati region. 2. Idk abt yall but I found Jakarta city lights at night are very pretty. 3. The busway (transjakarta) are pretty good, from the service to the facility. Con: 1. SUMMER 25/8, 2. TRAFFIC JAM EVERYFCKINGWHERE. The problem with Indonesians (in this case, Jakartans) eventhough they're only belongs to low class office worker with fixed salary less than the average wage (which is abt US$ 250 per month), they have tendencies to buy cars/motorcycles. You know, so that they looks cool, looks succesful and some bs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenithzinc 615 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 lmao jakartans oh-ers we need to meet up someday lol jakarta is improving its infrastructure, there're so many road, fly over and other projects going on so traffic jams are inevitable. culinary centre are kelapa gading, pik, senopati, shopping malls are every where. but again even north and south jakarta are so different, it actually depends on where you live.

Pyotoo 313 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hmm. Which part of the city are they going to? Jakarta's huge and it's pretty different per area. I recommend checking routes on google maps if you commute, if not for that app i might miss a lot of my classes haha. Traffic jams are a thing, especially at hours where people are going to/going home from work. Also bc there's social-economic disparity, you can get anything ranging from super cheap to super expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xinl 14 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Even though it's so, please note that Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia so that also means that there are so many industrial company right there. The pollution, traffic jam, and criminality may be quite massive to even foreigners and locals, but in Jakarta you can still feel its traditional culture. You can also visit the amusement park, zoo, and stuffs which's quite unique compared to the other countries. Most of the people are also kind, we still conserve gotong-royong even though we live in an urban city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
