Getting around in Aceh
Most hotels in Aceh have taxis that can be hired on a per day
basis. But if you want to get a flavour of the local transport,
you could hire a Becak, which is a motorised three wheeler or
tri-shaw. An authentic local experience right down to the
haggling of the fare, the Becak is on the roads right round the
clock.
You could hop into the other local mode of transport, a mini bus
that goes by the quaint name of Labi-labi. Labi-labi rides are
fun, but they do not cover the entire city and go off the roads
at 7 p.m.
