Becak Drivers Looking for Passengers
Here is an entry for #vehiclephotography contest by @juliank.
These becak (pronounced bay-chek) drivers might just have dropped off their passengers. Or they might have been driving around for a long time looking for new riders. Hope they find paying passengers soon.

These look pretty cool! Have you ever ridden in a becak, Kate?
How much do they charge and how far will they take you? Do you just hail them on the street? Gorgeous photo.

Many, many times. I've always loved riding in them, especially at night when it's not raining. But there are fewer becaks now as they're not allowed on some streets to interfere with car traffic.
Yes, you hail them on the street and then bargain with them for a price. After a while, you get to know how much you should pay for particular routes. At night when I still lived in Jakarta, my ex-husband and I used to take them long distances.
