Getting Around Bandar Lampung
Order through the app as you leave the baggage claim. Drivers will meet you near the taxi stand – just share your pin. Cash is fine, but top up your e-wallet for smoother payment.
Use the official taxi counter inside the arrivals hall – they'll give you a fixed price. Street touts outside the terminal may charge double.
The bus drops you at Rajabasa Terminal, about 15 minutes from the hotel. Grab a Gojek (motorcycle taxi) from there – it's cheap and avoids traffic jams.
Angkots have fixed routes marked by colour – look for yellow or blue ones heading toward the city centre. They get crowded, and the driver may not give change, so carry small bills. For a first-timer, Gojek is less hassle.
