Good morning and welcome to Indonesia I hope you are having a wonderful day and
I hope you're going to enjoy our day today as we travel from the vibrant city
of Jakarta with all its traffic and go just a little journey by train to Bogor.
I will first of all show you the station we're going to Cikini station hopefully
show you and explain to you how to buy a ticket, then the train ride, apparently it
takes about one hour 40 minutes we shall see and goes every 20 minutes so we'll
see if that's correct
then we will explore Bogor
Okay so I made it into the station there are the turnstiles and there's no way to
buy a ticket there so I have to apparently come around here somewhere, buy a
ticket but I can't see anywhere
hopefully down here somewhere there'll be a place where I can buy my ticket and
then go back and get the train, or maybe there'll be another entrance here.
I can see a bakery
ah there's another entrance here, so that was the south entrance
okay let's go and see if I can find a ticket
This is all in Indonesian, okay well lets' see.
There you go, thank you very much!
It was nice and easy
Then I can go into the station and find
a train
I haven't seen a train timetable here
Cikini and....... Bogor
Here comes my train
going to Bogor,
up there on the sign
and here comes...my train
So here we are, made it on to the train
it's a commuter train not like a
standard travel train
so it is kitted out to obviously have lots of people
traveling on it
so avoid the morning and evening rush hours because it gets a
very very busy in here so if you're just using it like me to either go to Bogor
if you want to do a day trip to Bogor,
It's very convenient and cheap
but do, if you've got bags, avoid the rush hour
And arrived in Bogor, one hour and 20 minutes
I did eventually get a seat but
only for about the last 20 minutes of the journey
Okay, I'm gonna get my bags find
some accommodation, oh get out the station and work out the refund on the ticket
let's go
use the ticket to get out of the station
and then I think you go to this window over here
where it says refund to get the
refund for the ticket
let's try and see what happens
Thank You Ma'am
Thank you very much.
There we go, nice and simple
You get ten thousand back that means
the journey was six thousand (6,000) rupiah which
is very cheap
