For bigger bus traveling long distance via bus halter will have a security/usher other than the driver in the bus serving your needs, the fare for this type of typical bus is 4k per person.

If you are the kind of tourist that like to explore new places, there are alot more shopping mall than what we tourist know of like Nagoya hill, BCS, DC Mall, Hyper Mall. I saw one around batam center area, a few on the way to Batu Aji Top100.

So,can i safely say :

Small mini bus : 3k fare

Bigger Bus : 4k fare

I seen the small bus,it was so crowded to the extend that passengers are standing and squeezing inside it. I will be looking forward to see how their big bus looks like.

Thanks for sharing that there are more shopping malls than those standard ones that was common mentioned in the thread.

May i ask,if anyone has ever visit the below Hindu Temple before and if tourist are allowed entry?

I am tempted to fly in from Kota Kinabalu to Singapore (still not too sure how to get from airport to ferry terminal to catch ferry to Batam...how long it takes....taxi fare cost...etc, etc)....catch the first available ferry to Batam, go get a young sweet thing....bonk her...and then ask question

Hi bro,thank you for your interest in Batam. There is another alternate way from Johor to Batam but you will need to so some research online to get to the ferry terminal at Johor and from there,you are unlikely to be landing in Batam's Harbour Bay if you choose that route. So my guide will technically become useless to you until you have reached Formosa Hotel.

My guide on my signature shows you the way to reach Batam starting from Singapore Harbour Front MRT/Ferry Terminal and return.
