After work, they usually sit in the becak taking a break, relax, stretch their legs and drink. Legs and power become a mainstay of their lives. Becak they use does not belong to them. Only a small part that has its own becak. They usually rent, deposit some money the becak owner. Their ages spread from a young age to old age, some even very old. From the beginning they did not expect to be a becak driver, perhaps for economic reasons, had to become a becak driver. Some came from out of town as of Klaten, leaving his wife and children, making a living became a becak driver.

In Yogyakarta, becak are often found, especially in downtown, even in the suburbs. They are widely used to transport tourists around the city, get the kids off school, transporting goods in the traditional markets.

Where do they sleep? Most of them have no home. They were forced to rest, sleep in the becak, parked on the side of the store or on the roadside, they can rest, sleep, dream and accompanied by cold air penetrating the skin. There is no such thing as a bedroom and the soft bed, let alone a house to rest. Becak as a home for them. Good night, Sweet dreams…
