Becak and Taxi

Becak and Taxi

Two modes of transportation, modern and traditional, side by side.
Becak (a kind of pedicab) can easily be found in Semarang and most cities in Java.
Taxis are easy to find and seem to be more convenient too, but becaks will never lose their place here. Cheap, pollutant-free, becaks continue to exist as the traditional mode of transportation n Indonesia.

    Semoga becak tetap bertahan karna aku pikir ini adalah alat transportasi kita yang unik. Tau ga di Jerman aku pernah liat Becak persis kaya becak semarang lo dan pas tanya yang punya ternyata dia beli dari semarang ha ha ha..
    Oya di Berlin Becak malah menjadi taksi untuk mengantar para wisatawan keliling kota lo..
