Indonesia Tourism, Solo tourism info, solo city info

Did you know Boeing 777 Dreamliner aircraft, or the Airbus A380 as the largest aircraft in the world? Did you know the fastest express train in the world? Did you know the largest and most magnificent yachts in the world?

What is the mode of transportation was the most expensive in the world? How about this one?

 


In some cities in Indonesia such as in Solo, there is a public transportation which according to the author is most expensive in the world, namely rickshaw.

Why are most expensive in the world? because it uses human power to run it. So for a distance of about 1 km, you will be charged at around USD 1.1 or USD 10 thousand means that a distance of 1000 km will cost USD 1100 or USD 10.450 million.

Obviously you will not be planning to travel 1000 km with these transportation modes. Unless you want to be recorded in the Museum's record.

As a suggestion, to locations in Keprabon is about 10-50 meters from the main road Slamet Riyadi. You can just walk away and when you arrived on Main Street You can just choose a bus transportation, taxi, angkot, becak 

Bus
Economic bus (non air-conditioner) with a rate of Rp 2 thousand, bus with air conditioner with a rate of Rp 3 thousand and Batik Solo Trans (executive) rates to Rp 3 thousand. All rates are valid far and near, which means that if our goal is much the same rates apply when we are near the goal.

Taxi.
Almost all taxis in the city of Solo to use metered, I recommend only using the air  meter taxi. There are many taxis as Kosti Solo, Central Taxis Solo, Solo Taxi, Taxi Crown Solo, and Solo Taxi Gelora.

2 name of the taxi fleet mentioned earlier is the longest operating in Solo at the same time that we recommend.

Angkot
Angkot is public transportation by car mini van.
You can quickly identify the color orange or yellow. Rates are valid far or near is Rp 3 thousand.

Becak 
Becak is tricycle transportation by human power. If you just want to go not too far, walk or use a becak is the choice. But the becak fare relatively more expensive because it uses human power. So you must be smart to bid and bargain half price the rickshaw driver. And bargaining is before you boarded becak.

Below the cliff resort

  Solo City Info, Solo city tourism
Wow ... really interesting look at one resort located on the border of the tourist sites Tawangmangu Karanganyar with Sarangan tourist sites. But until now, I do not know anyone who has ever lived there.
I actually doubt that the resort as a place to stay but for strange rituals. A person who I asked about the resort was also confirmed that in fact the great officials who often "stay" to perform rituals involving the position, wealth, power and often crowded ahead of regional elections.
wow, ... please believe it or not but that's the facts.

I prefer it actually resorts to be a place to stay. And very rarely resorts to place under the bridge. Unique once ... hopefully no one litter so that litter the resort's roof.

Therefore, let us support it resorts to the real tourist area and used to stay while enjoying the surrounding scenery is quite interesting.
