Located on the northwestern coast of Java, Jakarta is the bustling capital and the largest metropolitan city in Indonesia. With over 10 million residents, it’s one of the most densely populated cities not only in Indonesia but across Southeast Asia.

So, if you’re flying into Jakarta, here are a few easy and popular ways to get from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) to the heart of the city:

Airport Train

The fastest and most hassle-free way to reach the city is by train. Hop on the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Rail Link to BNI City Station for just IDR 70,000 (approx. 45-minute ride). Tickets can be purchased cashless at the kiosks available in the station—super convenient and efficient!

Bus (Damri Shuttle)

If you prefer a road trip and a more budget-friendly option, take the Damri Airport Bus. With a fare of only IDR 40,000, it takes you to Gambir Station, a central hub in Jakarta. Buses operate from 3 AM to 9 PM, and tickets can be purchased directly at the airport ticket counter.

E-Hailing Ride

Looking for comfort and flexibility? Book an e-hailing car via apps like Grab or Gocar right from your phone. It’s a seamless option, especially if you’re carrying a lot of luggage or traveling with family.

Taxi (Blue Bird)

Prefer a traditional taxi ride? Choose Blue Bird Taxi, one of the most reputable and reliable taxi services in Jakarta. No need to haggle—just head to the Blue Bird counter at the arrival terminal to get your queue number. The fare to the city center typically ranges from IDR 200,000 to 300,000, depending on traffic conditions.
