Becak

Located within Waingapu Traditional Market, the city’s traditional mode of transport, the becak, offers a nostalgic travel experience. A becak is a three-wheeled rickshaw with the passenger seat positioned at the front of the bike, while the driver is seated at the back. Although fewer in number due to the prevalence of other transportation options, becaks continue to operate, adding a touch of history to the city’s transport system. Fares are generally under $1, though they may vary depending on the destination. Due to its pedal-powered design, the becak moves at a slower pace compared to motorized vehicles, making it ideal for those looking to enjoy the city’s sights at a relaxed speed. Its compact size accommodates only one passenger for optimal comfort. The becak remains a cherished and unique feature of Waingapu’s transportation landscape, offering both practicality and a glimpse into the city’s heritage.
