They were developed with Vespa and later imported to and built in Indonesia.

Another noisy bugger is the bemo. Originally brought to Indonesia by the Japanese government as part of a disaster relief package in 1962

Another popular transport vehicle is luxury European cars. Probably the third most popular imported car in Jakarta. Serious.

Somethings change faster than others, often its the poor who get left behind. Something I always see going through Jakarta is the contrast of rich and poor, East and West. Its so easy to ignore one of the the other if you live here. I haven’t seen the poorest of people, But I have meet the richest. For me, a foreigner, the contrast is so blatant.
