Like i said earlier,i dont even have those online taxi apps on my mobile phone,hehehe...but the receptionist has it,the bell boy has it, hotel security guards has it, even most girl/s has it too. So they do it for me,hehehe...i dont treat this group of people well-enough for nothing.

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.
Hehehe...there is still those full day taxi booking option too. As the saying goes,one time kena chop is to pay school fee, 2nd time kena chop is learning the hard way, 3rd time and onward is pure stupidity,hehehe...

Nonetheless, i must say from 60k rupiah to 30k rupiah is another good option. I saved 1 min of bargaining time,hehehe... hope they can apply this to Batam Center and other Ferry terminal in future too.

If they dont, it shows that Batam Center still have the market for travelers travelling to Batam less often, meaning lesser regular travelers. If they could earn more,why chose to earn less.

Good to see more Sillyporean travel via tour agent in this aspect tho,hehehehe...the key thing is still options, clever ones pick the option that best suits themselves. Paying 50k to 60k rupiah to the taxi stand outside Harbour Bay arrival hall is not my kind of good option,hehehe.... not suitable for me.
