How bad are the traffic jams? When are the peak hours and how much time should I budget for, say, an airport transfer to central Jakarta, or a 10 km taxi trip?
Also general tips or fun stuff, I guess. Headed there for a work trip in August. I'm reasonably familiar with Southeast Asia, but the last time I was in Indonesia was years ago.

Forgot to mention - are things like GrabTaxi and Uber reliable? I've also heard that I can use Go-Jek to order in-call (non-lewd) massages and other services.

The trip to the airport is a bit better because it's through the bypass which isn't too bad. On the other hand, it took us 45min for a 5km taxi trip from the old town to downtown. Use the buses, they have priority lanes.

The traffic jams are known as 'macet' and can add hours onto a short trip.
There are several apps that you can use to help navigate through this...
I think ' Waze' is the one that most of my friends in jkta use

Also, I have never had a problem with Grab,Uber,Gojek or Bluebird taxis.
Get in any other taxi at your own risk

Only get in a bluebird taxi if you want to keep your belongings. Also the traffic jams are hellish but not as bad as the Monas bus drviers photography
