Becaks are indispensable means of transport in middle sized Javanese towns. Often it is the only way to get through the small alleys and backstreets, where most people live. They provide a livelihood for thousands of people in Yogyakarta.
Be seated in your PBV (Personal Becak Vehicle) for a slow ride through the web of narrow streets and whitewashed houses, away from the din of modern traffic. Cruise along the neighborhood mostly inhabited by distant family members of the Sultan, encircling his palace.
