Hey TTers
I'm wondering if anyone knows if its possible to bypass Jakarta altogether by getting to Bogor from the airport - preferably by train - instead of heading to the Gambir station and then catching the express out.

Yes, there's a regular bus service from Jakarta airport to Bogor, though the latest departure isn't too late, around 8pm or so.

#3 No trains at the airport. You would have to take a train to Gambir or Kota station in Jakarta then a taxi or bus to the airport; Kota should be quicker, but I don't know if all Bogor trains go there.
Bus from Bogor is probably the best solution.
There used to be shared taxis from Bogor to Jkt, called something like 4747, but I don't know if they still run and if they go to the airport.
Sorry the trains do not run from the airport.
The regular bus service is the DAMRI bus, they leave about every hour and are air conditioned and the trip takes about 1-2 hrs depending on the traffic and cost is about 20,000 ( was that price in late Nov 2006).
