How locals move

Getting around Bogor the local way

  • Get inIf you charter a helicopter from Soekarno Hatta airport, you can request in advance for permission to land at Atang Senjaya airport, Bogor.
  • Get aroundThe easiest way to get around Bogor is by angkot, little green minibuses, hordes of which infest Bogor's central streets.
  • Get aroundThe downsides to using angkot are that the drivers are reckless and theft is all too common (guard your belongings).
  • Get aroundAlso, some angkot like 02 or 03 only depart from their pangkalan (terminals) when full — 10 min on a good day on a busy route, 90 minutes on a bad day on an unpopular one.
  • Get aroundHorse carts known as delman can be found in central Bogor, and it could be an option if you want to cruise around and take a look at the city.
