Getting Around Bekasi
Best for short hops – 5 mins to Bekasi Station or 15 mins to Grand Metropolitan Mall. Use Gojek for slightly cheaper fares than Grab. Always wear the helmet provided.
Cheapest option but involves a change at Manggarai. Buy a single trip card at the station – avoid peak hours (6-9am, 4-7pm) when KRL trains are packed.
Book through MyBlueBird app to avoid meter scams – fixed price shows upfront. Request a car with a child seat if needed; the hotel can help arrange.
Get a Gojek from the hotel to Bekasi Timur Terminal (15 mins, 20k IDR). The bus can be stuck in traffic, so add 30 mins buffer if flying international.
