Out after having your luggage scanned (entrance), to get to the usual taxi stand,you usually will turn right side and walk straight forward. This time round,dont turn right,but turn left instead,enter thru a glass door,turn right and walk straight. No need to ask,no need to bargain,the price is 30k rupiah. (still best to double check before boarding tho)

I will try to post photo/s later.
Here's the new entrance to the official Harbour Bay taxi stand.


...and taxi prices at the taxi stand in Harbour Bay will be 30k rupiah. I learned that 30k rupiah taxi pricing at Harbour Bay is mainly available in Taxi stands and hotels. Other places parts of Harbour Bay still price their fare at a starting price of 50k rupiah,hehehe...


I also learned on my Sept trip that i can actually use GoCar outside handful of hotels. Just dont order GoCar so obviously. Then again,at Harbour Bay Ferry terminal,many GoCar taxis didnt want to come in to pick up passenger. Its just a test out,hehehe...but not those outside ferry terminal,hehehe...
