Bemo is the abbreviation of "motor rickshaw" and is a three-wheeled motor vehicle which is used for public transportation in Indonesia. Bemo began to be used in Indonesia in early 1962, first in Jakarta in connection with Ganefo.
Later bemo presence is intended to replace the pedicab. But this plan did not succeed because of the presence of bemo not supported by a mature plan. Bemo is not only present in Jakarta, but also in other cities such as Bogor, Bandung, Surabaya, Malang, Padang, Denpasar, etc.. because these vehicles are very practical and capable of reaching the narrow streets, and can go much faster than tricycles.
Bemo is beginning to operate like a taxi, later restricted areas of operations in certain routes, and finally removed to thin routes that had been left untouched by city bus. In Jakarta, began bemo removed in 1971, followed by Surabaya and Malang in the same year. In 1979, the Regional Government of Surakarta take similar steps.
