28 Jun 2018 Useful Apps when Visiting Indonesia42246 Aplikasi yang Berguna Ketika Mengunjungi Indonesia Travelling to developing countries is tricky due to lack of common infrastructures compared to developed countries. Technology has made it slightly easier by putting information and tools available to people through mobile apps. The following are some useful apps to be installed when visiting Indonesia. Bepergian ke negara-negara berkembang lebih repot karena kurangnya infrastruktur secara umum dibandingkan negara-negara maju. Teknologi, melalui aplikasi-aplikasi ponsel, sudah sedikit membantu dengan menyediakan informasi dan alat yang berguna. Berikut ini beberapa aplikasi yang layak dipasang saat mengunjungi Indonesia. A. APPS FOR NAVIGATION A. Aplikasi untuk navigasi 1. Google Maps (Android / iOS) Google Maps is useful in a lot of locations around the world, including in Indonesia. It is useful to find directions when walking around, but it's even more useful to check routes when riding a taxi (as some taxi driver tend to give tricky question to prolong the ride). Similar Apps: Waze Google Maps berguna di berbagai tempat di dunia, termasuk di Indonesia. Berguna dalam menemukan rute saat berjalan kaki, terlebih lagi saat menentukan rute ketika naik taksi, karena beberapa supir cenderung menanyakan pertanyaan yang mengecoh untuk memperlama perjalanan. Aplikasi serupa: Waze 2. Grab (Android / iOS) When Uber stopped its operation in Indonesia, it was taken over by Grab. Aside of Grab, there is another local ride-hauling app - which is Gojek. Both Grab and Gojek has considerably similar pricing and quality of service for car rides, motorcycle rides or food delivery. Grab is slightly better for foreigner as the app offer direct translation to english in its chat function. This often comes in handy as Indonesian commonly doesn't speak English. The other useful feature is to make payment using Credit Cards. Similar Apps: GoJek Ketika Uber tidak lagi beroperasi di Indonesia, Uber diambil alih Grab. Selain Grab, ada lagi aplikasi numpang lokal - Gojek. Keduanya berbiaya dan berkualitas mirip untuk numpang mobil, motor, atau pengiriman makanan. Grab sedikit lebih baik untuk orang asing karena ada penerjemahan dalam fungsi chatnya. Lumayan berguna karena orang Indonesia biasanya tidak berbahasa Inggris. Selain itu Anda juga bisa membayar dengan kartu kredit. Aplikasi serupa: Gojek 3. Tiket.com (Android / iOS) Tiket is local word for "Ticket". As the name implies, tiket.com provides booking services. It started with flight aggregator and train ticketing channel (train is managed by government owned company - PT. KAI). Now it also offered:

Selain itu, tersedia juga pusat penyewaan mobil (yang lebih nyaman dibandingkan mengandalkan transportasi umum) dan penjualan tiket event. Aplikasi serupa: Traveloka 4. Trafi (Android / iOS) This is mainly usable in Jakarta. Public transportation is not recommended due to confusing lines and crimes (especially pickpocketing) - if you must, it is suggested to limit yourself to TransJakarta Bus. This app helps you to navigate from one place to another through a series of transportation options (bus, train, ride hauling service). This is useful as it also gives estimates on when the ride is expected to arrive. Similar Apps: GoJek Aplikasi ini terutama berguna di Jakarta. Transportasi umum tidak disarankan karena jalurnya membingungkan dan kriminalitas (terutama copet) - kalau harus pakai, disarankan pakai Bus TransJakarta saja. Aplikasi ini membantu Anda menjelajahi berbagai tempat dengan beragam pilihan transportasi (bis, kereta, dan layanan numpang mobil). Disebutkan juga kapan kira-kira kendaraannya akan tiba. Aplikasi serupa: Gojek 5. My BlueBird (Android / iOS) BlueBird is a taxi chain that is often found in major cities. This is one of the reliable taxi company. There are four ways to book the taxi:

Pengirimannya gratis dan kebijakan pengembaliannya lebih terpercaya. Selain itu, tersedia produk digital seperti isi ulang pulsa dan paket internet. 3. Fave (Android / iOS) This used to be Groupon, but as the business was sold, so the name changed. This works similar with Groupon. Similar Apps: - Tadinya ini Groupon, tapi karena Groupon terjual, namanya berubah. 4. Happy Fresh (Android / iOS) This is like a shopping helper.
