Becak

Becak is the cheapest transportation in Indonesia. It is driven by a person who is called "tukang becak". It has 3 wheels and 2 people capacity seats in the front. When we want to enjoy the scenery of the city we better use becak. Due to the operator is a human, then becak only serves short range to go. You can find many becaks in Indonesia especially in Java island. I mostly find it in yogyakarta and solo. It is so interesting to ride becak. Many Tourist domestic and overseas going around using becak.

Andong

Andong is a short range vehicle. It has 4 wheels and it is pulled by one or more horses. We can see Andong around Java Island especially in Yogyakarta and Solo. In Yogyakarta and Solo city, Andong takes a big role for the ancient public transportation. An Andong is driven by a "kusir". I often go to Jalan Malioboro by Andong in Yogyakarta, starting from south to the east of Jalan Malioboro. While riding an Andong you can look around the beautiful scenery of the town. It runs slowly and. It is very appropriate for those who want to make a city documentation. Andong now as an icon of huge Javanese culture and its heritage.
