Re: Batam Info Thread

Anyway, just to share my taxi experience.
Luckily only 1 bad experience. Happened a few years ago.

Negotiate 40k from Nagoya to Harbor Bay....driver (private) reluctantly agree.
This was after haggling chicken n duck talk for like 7-8 mins.

When reach the place.....driver wanted 50k.
Not happy but since reach liao n got ferry to catch...give 50k to him.

That extra 10k is only slightly more than SGD1...but kind of left sour feeling coz he just on the spot increase like that.

Later I think about it, most likely the driver was disappointed to see quite an empty Harbour Bay area when reach...so likely will return back to Nagoya without any passengers....so ask for 10k more lor.

That experience kind of put me off going back to BTM for some time....
and later on....when I did....I always go to BTM Centre...for Arrival n Departure.
