Getting Around Kuningan
Use Gojek or Grab app — they have set pick-up zones at the airport. The fare is fixed but surges at peak times (avoid 17:00-20:00). Ask the driver to use the Jagorawi toll road for consistency; cashless payment is easier for non-Indonesian cards.
Pre-book a blue-top taxi (like Blue Bird or GrabCar Premier) at the airport counter to avoid haggling. The drive via Jagorawi toll road is about 4 hours in clear traffic; add 30-60 mins during peak hours.
This train only covers the outskirts of Jakarta — you'll need an ojek (motorcycle taxi) or angkot (local minibus) from Cibinong station to Kuningan. Not ideal for airport transfer, but it's cheap and avoids traffic jams for the Jakarta segment.
Look for the 'Kuningan' route sign at the bus stop near Terminal 1 arrivals. It drops you at the main terminal — from there, take an ojek (20,000-30,000 IDR, 10 mins) to Simpang ke rumah wak maryo. Book seat online via Damri app to secure space.
