Shuttle bus from Juanda Airport,Surabaya.

The name Indonesia has its roots in two Greek Words: "Indos" meaning Indian and "Nesos" meaning island.
Indonesia is made up of more than 13,000 islands which so far only less than 1,500 having a name.

The heart of the archipelago is Java; it is not only the location of Jakarta, Indonesia's capital and largest city, but it also puts up a very big part of the population.

Actually, Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country after China, India and the United States.
 Indonesia is also the largest Muslim state. Although the islands are home to more than 100 ethnic groups, most Indonesians are of mixed Malay origins and practice Islam.


Juanda International Airport (Indonesian: Bandar Udara Internasional Juanda) is an airport located in Sidoarjo, a small town near Surabaya, East Java.

The International arrival and departure lounge is on the west wing while the centre court consists of the information centre and the shopping arcades.

 The Domestic terminal on the east wing is to be considered the most busiest section.Domestic travelling among Indonesians seems to be quite a norm judging from the great distance among the major cities and inter island travelling.

Juanda International Airport is the second-largest and second-busiest airport in Indonesia after Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport based on the aircraft movements and passenger movements.











Upon arrival at the Juanda airport,the Damri airport shuttle  bus is readily available near the parking bay in front of the domestic terminal.
All were air conditioned and very comfortable. The fare was 15,000 rupiah and you won't be taken right down to Surabaya city.
Operating hours 04:00W.I.B till 17:00hrs W.I.B with departures every 20 minutes.







The bus terminates at the Purabaya Bus Terminal (local call it Burgarasih Terminal).
 It takes about 30 minutes for a 6km drive to the Purabaya terminal and that depends on the traffic condition as well.
Purabaya (also known as Bungurasih) is Surabaya, Indonesia's primary intercity bus terminal.
 It is located 10km south of the city centre. Popular destinations available include Solo, Semarang, Malang and Jogjakarta.
City buses (bis kota) go to Joyoboyo, Jembatan Merah Plaza (JMP) and Bratang.
If you were to catch an outstation bus,you need to go to another section by paying an entrance fees of 200 rupiah to reach the buses platform.
