"BECAK"

Becak is a tricycle pedaled by a man who sits normally behind the passenger. It could seat two persons, however, rather tightly. Becaks are mostly found in cities and towns in java and have been here for over four decades.

Unfortunately, this means of transport is gradually disappearing in the cities as motorized transportation has rapidly taken over the transportation everywhere in the country. In Jakarta, it has previously disappeared altogether, but they can still be found in the faraway suburbs where streets are narrow, and other public transportation is rare.

In other cities like Surabaya, Bandung, Semarang, and Denpasar, they can still be used for short distances. Before stepping into a becak, make sure you have bargained before with the becak driver, for the agreed upon fares (usually between Rp 5,000 and Rp 10,000)

The unique characteristic of becak is .........

• It can be found in Java for long distances.

• It is gradually disappearing in big cities.

• It is a tricycle pedaled by a man who sit behind the passenger.

• The price to use Becaks as transportation is very expensive.

For longer trips in or out of town, cars can be rented from taxi or car rental companies. another option would be to bargain for one at taxi stands which are usually found around busy public places such as markets or railway terminals, however, many fly-by-night drivers operate here without the officially required license which has its own risks.

Chauffeur-driven cars have different rates for in-town and out of town usage. Different rates apply depending on condition and types of cars. Remember that all registered taxis and hired cars have yellow number plates. Black is for private and red for government-owned vehicles. It is better to stick to registered taxis and airport transport upon arrived in the country.

After reading the text, the reader are expected to ........

• understand more about the problems.

• know everything about public place.

• drive different kinds of taxis and cars.

• get information about taxis and cars to be hired.
