Lining up Jakarta's skyscrapers along the CBD with Wisma 46 as the centerpiece. Wisma 46 is designed by Zeidler Partnership and has been well-known for being Indonesia's tallest building; and Jakarta's most distinguished skyscrapers with its unique shape resembling an elegant fountain pen. Singapore may have a "Durian" (The Esplanade); and Beijing has a "Bird's Nest" (Olympic Stadium) and "Trousers Pants" (CCTV Tower); but Jakarta has an elegant "Fountain Pen". Although it may not be the tallest building in Indonesia now, -with the completion of Menara BCA and The Kempinski Residences at the Grand Indonesia Mall complex; and construction at The Jakarta Tower (558m) is coming soon-, Wisma 46 remains one of the nation's most distinguished and unique building.

Where these numbers come from

Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.

Observed service A carrier record shows this named operator serving this named pair, and we carry that through unchanged.

Where no operator publishes a fare for a corridor, the price here is our own estimate, worked out from the real distance and the real operator through a fare curve that follows lead time, day of the week and season. It tells you roughly what the journey costs. It is not a seat anyone has agreed to sell, and the payment step will not take it.
