Nope,the taxi driver will only pick the one who pays the 50k rupiah during room booking. Meaning to say, if you book a room directly from Formosa Hotel website (usually via email),you ask for shuttle service to and fro Ferry Terminal,you foot the bill of 50k rupiah and they only pick you up and drop you off later ; and not your other friends.
In other word,if you wish to have the hotel to pick you and your friends up (let's say you have 2 more friends which makes a total of 3 in a group),you foot the bill of 150k rupiah and not 50k rupiah. My earlier reply was meant for Blackpage,and he travel solo most of the time in Batam. For your case,it may not be wise to get the shuttle service from the hotel if you have a group.
My suggestion,hail a taxi from whichever ferry point (Batam center/Harbour Bay) you are coming from,it should not cost more than 60k if you guys don't bargain,and then share the taxi fare among yourselves. (it will definitely cost lower if you bargain down)

I don't have any FR,just summaries and I am still half way thru. I am not seeing it would end anytime soon tho,becos I made 2 trips to Batam on the month of Sept. I am looking to merge the 2 trips together to form 1 summary of info and it is likely gonna be a long one. I am still doing my post number 8, and in my 3rd day of the trip summary now,hehehe...so no need to wait for me to post as i am writing a 4D3N trip summary.
PS : Not forgetting i still have PMs and other posts in this thread to reply to,hehehe...which can at times be quite time consuming base on the ways i replied them.
