No single centre. Taxis and ride-hailing (Blue Bird, Grab, Gojek) do the work; angkot minibuses cover local routes for Rp2,000–5,000 but have no fixed stops — say "Kiri!" to get off. The green KRL commuter line links Serpong and four other stations to Tanah Abang in Central Jakarta; Transjakarta BRT runs to BSD City and Ciputat.

Areas, not hotels: pick the one that fits your arrival time and plans.
