At times,the hotel receptionist do the job for me,hehehe...so if you ask me if i ever use Grab or Go car before,i would say YES,and i use them no less than 5 times in my every Batam trip since the start of this year.
Wanna share how u manage to Grab a taxi or get a Go Car when u don't speak Indo bahasa?

A smart move!

U knew abt the Batam pricing logic don't u? When business good,price often up. When the selling prices are down,what does that tells u?

From all the evidence shown here,i find that the people holding the money to pay were not stupid or at least won't stay stupid all the time,especially those who regularly visit batam. So end of the day who lose out? Obviously it's the people trying to earn the money from the people holding the money.

Conventional taxi drivers can keep creating a scene at those jetty but end of the day,they are just humiliating the intelligence of those hands who can feed them.

i don't take conventional taxis from any harbour as well,i dial for one,though not from Grab nor GoCar.
