Getting Around Bandung

Public Transportation

Rapid Bus (TransBandung): Affordable modern bus system with air-conditioning covering major routes throughout the city. Fares are low per ride. Purchase cards at ticketing offices or on buses.

Traditional Minibuses (Angkots): Colorful shared minibuses following fixed routes with frequent stops. Cheaper than rapid buses (cheaper) but less comfortable. Ideal for short distances and local flavor.

Ride-sharing Apps: Grab is available throughout Bandung, offering convenient door-to-door service at a low starting fare. Preferable for tourists unfamiliar with routes.

Taxis

Metered taxis are available but less common than ride-sharing. Use Blue Bird taxi or negotiate fares with non-metered taxis beforehand. Tips are appreciated but not obligatory.

Private Transportation

Car Rentals: Affordable daily rental rates (daily rental rates vary) available from international and local agencies. International license acceptable. Driving on left side; traffic can be chaotic.

Tourist Shuttles: Many hotels arrange private shuttles to major attractions. Book through your accommodation or tour operators.

✈️ Airport Transfer

Husein Sastranegara has scheduled service again as of August 2026, including Wings Air flights to Lampung; travelers should check current routes: Accessible via taxi (a higher fare than ride-sharing), ride-sharing (price shown in the app), or hotel shuttles. Journey time: 30-45 minutes depending on traffic.

Getting to Day Trips

Hire private cars or join organized tours for destinations like Kawah Putih, Tangkuban Perahu, and Lembang. Ride-sharing is more economical for group travel to nearby destinations.
