INDONESIA : Jakarta Weather and Transportations |
 Weather |
| Jakarta is almost always hot and sticky. Average maximum temperatures stay above 30°C (86°F) throughout the year. October to February is the official wet season, when torrential rain dumps down, clearing the streets. July through to September has the least amount of rain, and that's when the temperature remains consistently high. |

| Transportation |
Several international airlines, including Garuda, Qantas, KLM, Lufthansa and Air New Zealand, fly into Jakarta, as do several domestic airlines. A toll road links the airport to the city and the journey takes about an hour - longer in rush hour. There's a good Damri bus service every half hour and metred taxis are available from ranks. Avoid unregistered taxis. Arrival is also possible by boat from Singapore. The passenger line timetables are tough to track down, but generally services run each way three times a week.
Boat is also a popular way of getting around once in Indonesia; many services run from Jakarta to destinations throughout Indonesia. The island of Java has a good rail network, centred in Jakarta. Bus travel is also popular, but Jakarta's three main bus stations are all a long way from the city centre - it can take longer to get to the bus stop than to take the bus trip itself. |
