Jakarta to Yogyakarta Destination Reviews

The bus driver was very nice so that is obviously not the issue but it was more so the bus. There was water dripping down from the air conditioning onto multiple seats but mainly mine and the one behind me. It got to a point where you’d think it was raining inside the bus and it just wouldn’t stop. I tried to change seat because I am not sitting under that for 10 more hours and the other worker on the bus got mad at me and wouldn’t let me sit anywhere else. It was the longest 10 hour bus ride of my life.

After already getting a downgrade in seats because the bus I had booked broke down and got replaced, the new bus continued to break down leaving us sitting at a rest stop from 12:00 am to 02:00. Even after fixing it the ride on the fixed suspension was horrible. Only just getting to the final destination 4 hours later than advertised.

The bus driver drive wrong on a street where he went back en forward and back to the highway. This took almost 2 hours for nothing. In the end we came 4 hour later at our location. We where not informed that they also would stop in other city so this is not nice. Overall was the bus itself good, and we got at 12 a little lunch. Only after that because it took 4 hours longer we came at the end location at 10 pm and not 6 pm so it was also really late to get at dinner.

Driver, co-driver and 3rd person of the team smoking cigarettes heavily all 10 hours long despite of the sign of prohibition. At the end even a couple of customers joined the party. Every stop was and excuse to pick up any sort of street-sellers and banjo players.

The ride itself is fine as one can expect for a 12hr ride. However, if it was not for our taxi driver talking with locals and finding where the pick up point was, we never would have made it. The pick up point was a bus station of the local Jakarta bus (and not for changing city), there were no signs, the bus was nowhere to be found.

First bus in Indonesia and it was incredible! We arrived late and the staff had been waiting for us. They were super welcoming and so nice. The bus was super comfortable, clean and spacious! We even had a snack and a meal. I'm going back with my eyes closed! Thank you so much!

How far is Jakarta from Yogyakarta?

How long does it take to get from Jakarta to Yogyakarta by bus?

Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times. Major national holidays, long weekends, or peak season periods may cause delays both in departures and arrivals – plan accordingly to avoid disappointment, especially if you have further connections and a tight schedule.

On this route, Tividi offers the fastest service. Agramas buses usually take the longest time to complete the journey.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
