Transportation in Surabaya

# Getting Around Surabaya Surabaya, Indonesia's second-largest city, offers several transportation options for visitors. The city has traditional modes like taxis and ride-hailing services (Grab and Gojek), which are widely used for point-to-point travel. Public buses operate throughout the city, though navigating routes can be challenging for first-time visitors. For shorter distances, becak (cycle rickshaws) and ojek (motorcycle taxis) provide local flavor, though prices should be agreed upon before starting your journey. **Airport Transfer Tip**: Juanda International Airport is located approximately 20 kilometers from the city center. Ride-hailing apps offer the most straightforward option for first-time visitors, providing transparent pricing through the app. Official airport taxis are also available at designated counters - look for metered options or agree on the fare beforehand.
