The Unique and Useful of These Public Transportation. By Windu

There are many kind of public transportation in Indonesia. Of course we have taxi and buses. People usually take taxi if they don’t have enough time or these days taxi also become a life style that they should choose. But since taxi cost much money, especially for the people who live in big ci ties such as Jakarta, choosing taxi sometimes become not a wise choice. In big cities like Jakarta, which always has traffic jam every day and every time, going from one area to another area in Jakarta could be like a long journey, and if we taxi, could you imagine how much it cost? Even though taxi tariff starts from around 800 won, but traffic jam could make the taxi fee become really high and expensive. 
Ada banyak sekali jenis-jenis transportasi dan kendaraan umum di Indonesia. Sudah pasti, kita punya berbagai macam taxi dan bis juga. Tapi tergadang sangat tidak bijaksana untuk memilih menggunakan taxi di kota-kota besar seperti Jakarta yang padahal dari satu tempat ke tempat lain bisa memakan waktu berjam-jam di jalan, mungkin harga tarif taxi di Indonesia memang tidak mahal jika dibandingkan dengan tarif taxi di Korea tapi, berjam-jam menunggu kemacetan Jakarta pastinya akan menghabiskan banyak biaya dan ongkos. Biasanya orang-orang di Jakarta memang memilih taxi dikarenakan mereka tidak punya waktu, namun akhir-akhir ini banyak orang memilih naik taxi sebagai gaya hidup orang modern yang katanya akan terlihat lebih ok kalau naik taxi.
인도네시아는 다양한 대중교통 수단이 있어요. 물론 택시와 버스도 있고요. 최근에는 택시가 하나의 라이프스타일처럼 되어가고 있기 때문에, 특히 시간이 없을 때는 많은 사람들이 택시를 이용하게 되었어요. 하지만 택시는 너무 비싸기 때문에 꼭 좋은 선택이라곤 할 수 없어요. 언제나 예외 없이 길이 막히는 자카르타 같은 대도시 내에서 이동하는 것은 때론 상당히 긴 여정이 되기도 하죠. 그래서 만약 무심코 택시를 탄다면 어마어마한 금액이 될 수도 있을 거예요.

For the people in other cities, besides buses they also have some traditional public transportation. In Kalimantan Island, due to their land which has several rivers, people have no choices except taking traditional boat or they should take really long road that takes too much time to go to some places. School students every morning and afternoon also use boat to go to their school. It is really convenient for students because it doesn’t take much time and it’s cheap. They just need to pay around 120 won, and sometimes if they don’t have money, the driver will just smile to them. 

Tapi bagaimana dengan orang-orang di kota-kota lainnya. Bahkan di jaman yang serba modern dan canggih inipun orang-orang di Kalimantan masih banyak yang menggunakan alat transportasi tradisional seperti perahu kayu. Perahu kayu masih banyak digunakan oleh para warga dan anak-anak sekolah untuk menyebrangi sungai yang menghalangi sekolah dan rumah mereka. Ini sangat bermanfaat bagi warga setempat karna tarif nya yang sangat murah yakni hanya sekitar 1000 rupiah saja, bahkan terkadang jika anak-anak sekolah ini tak punya uang untuk menyebrang, mereka hanya perlu tersenyum kepada si pengayuh perahu sebagai tanda maaf dan terima kasih.

다른 도시에는 버스 외에도 몇몇 전통적인 대중교통이 있어요. Kalimantan Island에서는 강이 많은 지리적 특성상, 전통적인 보트를 타고 이동하는 것이 육지로 빙빙 돌아가는 것보다 현명한 선택이에요. 학생들도 매일 아침저녁으로 등하교를 위해 보트를 이용해요. 빠르고 싸기 때문에 학생들에게 아주 편리해요. 120원 정도면 탈 수 있고, 가끔 돈이 없을 때는 운전수가 웃으며 태워주기도 하죠.


Besides that, in South Kalimantan, people also use traditional boat while selling their products such as vegetables, fruits or many kind of daily needs. We called it floating market, since they do economic and market activities above boat in the river. It is really unique for foreign tourist and even for other Indonesian who live in another islands.

Selain itu orang-orang di Kalimantan juga banyak menggunakan perahu untuk berjualan, dikarenakan dataran di Kalimantan banyak memiliki sungai dan perairan, maka jual beli di pasarpun dapat dilakukan di atas air sungai. Warga menyebutnya pasar terapung. Pasar dan sistem menggunakan perahu untuk berjualan ini sangat menarik perhatian turis domestik maupun manca negara. Ibu-ibu disana biasanya menjajakan berbagai macam sayuran dan buah-buahan kepada orang sekitar.
참고로 전통적인 보트는 교통수단일뿐만 아니라, South Kalimantan 같은 곳에서는 야채나 과일 같은 식료품을 판매하는 가게이기도 해요. 강에 떠 있는 배 위에서 거래가 이루어지기 때문에 이것을 수상 시장이라고 부르죠. 이것은 외국에서 온 관광객들뿐만 아니라, 다른 섬에서 온 인도네시아인의 눈에도 매우 독특한 풍경이에요.

In Jogjakarta, one of the most famous cities in Indonesia, especially  for foreigners because of its culture which is still protected by government and the local people. Local people still use traditional public transportation in their daily activities. Becak, this transportation is driven by one person who sits in the behind and similar as bicycle this person is responsible to ride using pedal and their energy. People still choose becak because it is really convenient and comfortable. They could feel relax because one becak only will take one or two people from one family. So, there will be no stranger even it is public transportation. The price is also cheap enough. It cost starts from 6000won to up depends on how far you want. 

Di Jogjakarta, kota yang sangat terkenal karena warga dan pemerintahnya yang masih menjaga dan memegang teguh budaya lokalnya juga menerapkan alat transportasi menggunakan becak dan dokar. Becak sendiri biasanya dikayuh oleh seorang laki-laki tua yang akan duduk di bagian belakang. Becak ini masih bisa ditemui di kota-kota kecil lainnya. Namun bila anda pergi ke Jogjakarta, becak merupakan salah satu alat transportasi favorit warga setempat terutama ibu-ibu setelah pulang dari pasar. Becak ini sangat murah, biasanya sekitar 5000 rupiah ke atas tergantung seberapa jauh empat tujuan anda. 

Jogjakarta는 정부와 지역주민들에 의해 전통문화가 고스란히 보존되어 있는 것으로 외국인들에게도 잘 알려진 도시에요. 이곳 주민들은 전통적인 대중교통을 여전히 일상적으로 이용해요. Becak이란, 자전거처럼 뒤에 손님이 타면 기사가 페달을 밟아 인력으로 운행하는 교통수단이에요. 아주 편리하고 편안하기 때문에 사람들은 아직도 Becak을 이용해요. Becak의 장점은, 한 번에 일행 1~2명밖에 태울 수 없기 때문에 낯선 사람들 사이에 끼어있을 필요가 없고, 가격도 최저 6000원 정도로 저렴하다는 거예요.

In Jogjakarta as so called ‘back to your culture’ also gives another option to citizen and foreigners. They have ‘dokar’ as another unique and useful public transportation. Dokar uses horse to drag this transportation, people of course will feel relax in on hand, and in another hand they will feel really nice and close with the nature and the city. You can feel and enjoy the city as like tourist even though this is your city. Many foreigners also try to get on Dokar and go around Jogjakarta while having a nice ride and in the same time having beautiful pictures of the city. 

Selain becak, di Jogjakarta kita juga bisa menjumpai dokar. Dokar yang dijalankan oleh seorang pak kusir bersama seekor kuda besar menarik penumpang yang akan duduk di bagian belakang. Dokar ini juga sangat menarik bagi wisatawan lokal dan asing karena sambil pergi ke tempat tujuan, orang-orang juga dapat menikmati indahnya kota sambil merasakan rileks. Biasanya ketika orang naik dokar, kita seakan merasa kembali ke masa kecil dan sangat dekat dengan kota dan budaya kita. 
Jogjakarta에는 Dokar이라는 또 하나의 독특하고 편리한 대중교통이 있어요. 이것은 말이 끄는 교통수단으로, 편안한 것은 물론, 도시의 자연에 가까워진 기분이 들지요. 현지 주민이더라도 마치 관광객이 된 듯한 기분을 낼 수도 있고, 또 실제로 많은 외국 관광객들이 Dokar을 타고 Jogjakarta를 누비며 아름다운 사진을 찍으며 즐거운 시간을 보내지요.
