This is a favorite transportation for the middle to low budget class...
It is notoriously famous for the vibration, sound(noise), pollution and the "old-age" of these retro rides...
Nowadays, bajaj are prohibited in some formal area in Jakarta... but we still can see them in lots of places. This unique vehicle was introduced from an Indian auto-company... and have been an icon for Jakarta for ages, this ride are equivalent to Thailand's tuk-tuk, but more dirty, and old.
It was mainly just simple body made of metal (usually just painted and not coated-whatsoever), and leather for the cover.
The electrical circuit of the light and engine sometimes badly arranged, you need a "SIM C" to drive this thing, it is a driver license for riding motorbike, since bajaj's handle is like a motorbike's it only has 3 wheels, and can fit 3 person, (including the driver), but sometimes, it can pick up a load that equivalent of a mini truck (believe me, Indonesian can be quite.... creative and bold)
