The difference of transportation in Indonesia and Malaysia
1. Bus in Indonesia
--> Metro mini
When passengers get on this bus, they do
not need pay the bus driver. Once seated, a bus conductor circulates and takes
the fare. Fare amounts are set, but rarely posted. Foreigners can be asked to
pay more than the set fare, especially if it is a long bus ride.
--> TransJakarta
TransJakarta
is a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Jakarta. It was the first BRT system in
Southern and Southeast Asia which started on January 25, 2004. The cost of a
TransJakarta ticket since initial up to December 2011 is still Rp. 3,500 per
trip, or Rp 2,000. Service starts from 05.00a.m. up until 07.00a.m.
2. Bus in Malaysia
--> RapidKL
RapidKL bus is the largest bus operator in the
Klang Valley, Malaysia. As of 2008, it operates 167 routes with 650 buses
covering 980 residential areas.
There are four types of bus services:
- Express route services àoperate from point-to-point without or with very few stops in between.
- City shuttles à operate within Kuala Lumpur’s central business district, linking five city bus hubs.
- Trunk route buses à run from these hubs to suburban or regional hubs and stop at all regulated bus stops along the way.
- Local shuttles à operate from suburban or regional hubs into residential areas.
These
buses have schedules and are always on time:
•
City Shuttle:10 to 20 minutes
•
Trunk Line: 15 to 30 minutes
•
Local Shuttle: 15 to 30 minutes
•
Express: 30 to 60 minutes

Metrobus Nationwide
These types of bus are privately owned public transportation company in
the Klang Valley that was formed in 1992. It is the second largest stage bus
(regular or trunk bus route) and feeder bus operator in Kuala Lumpur after
Rapid KL. The price ranges from RM1.00 – RM3.00
--> KL HOP-ON HOP-OFF
This type of bus offers a pre-recorded
commentary in nine different languages that will guide the tourist through the
major sights and attractions in the city with the use of headsets. The base
concept of this service is to offer tourists a more convenient way to discover
Kuala Lumpur where tourists can either stay on for the full tour circuit, or
hop-on or hop-off at any of the attractions.
3. Women-Only Carriages

Comparing
Metro-mini bus (Indonesia) and Metro Bus (Malaysia):
- Metro Mini Bus allows passengers to stop
any point of the road. Where-as, the Metro Bus has to stop at each bus stop.
-
Metro Mini Bus has regular visit to sell food, snacks and small beverages.
- Bringing
food and beverages into Metro Bus is prohibited.
- Passengers will never feel hungry nor thirsty
inside a Metro Mini Bus!

Conclusion:
After comparing both transportations in
Malaysia and Indonesia, the facilities in Indonesia seems to be lower quality
than the public facilities in Malaysia but Indonesia has Bajaj, Becak, Anggot,
Bemo, Delman and Ojek as a unique public transportation which will attract
curious tourists into visiting Indonesia to give these transportation a try.
