   Massive change is afoot in Jakarta Indonesia’s public transport system with a new bus network, with a dedicated bus lane system in operation, and a monorail currently under construction. TransJakarta (tel: (021) 722 8727; website: jakarta.go.id/transjakarta/home/index.php) is a rapid transit bus system that already has seven lines or ‘corridors’. There are slated to be 15 lines by 2010. Fixed rate fares are payable. In addition a number of smaller companies also offer bus and minibus routes, though these tend not to stick to timetables, are chronically overcrowded and often don’t have air-conditioning. The Jakarta Indonesia Monorail is currently under construction. The Green Line will be a loop line serving Semanggi-Karet-Semanggi with the Blue Line serving Kampung Melayu-Mall Taman Anggrek. The system has been beset by delays however, and there is no firm completion date. Bajaj are motorized rickshaws that are a cheap, though relatively dangerous way to get around the city.
