The first walking route that I always like to use is:

1) From harbourbay mall exit turn right walk along jalan duyung and before reaching pacific palace cross the road to the opposite side.

2) Then continue to walk south and before reaching novotel, turn left walk along jalan raja ali haji where you will pass by many shops like morning bakery and bank BCA.

3) When you reach hotel planet holiday outside you will have to cross the road where you see a mosque, walk along the pavement until you reach goodway hotel.

4) Now you are at jalan imam bonjol which is the main road of batam. From goodway hotel you have two route to formosa:

i) First is continue walking along the main road pass mandiri bank and nagoya plaza hotel until you see nagoya hill shopping mall, then cross the road and walk directly to formosa

ii) Second is from goodway hotel outside cross the road where you see hotel sari jaya and walk down all the way south directly via the small lane passing by many shophouse, dynasty joint and centrepoint before reaching formosa hotel .

There is another second walking route which i ever tried before during my second visit to batam from harbourbay to formosa hotel:

1) From harbourbay mall exit turn right walk along jalan duyung and before reaching pacific palace cross the road to the opposite side.

2) Then continue to walk south for quite a distance pass novotel hotel, until you see top 100 shopping centre then turn left.

3) Rite now you will be passing by the wet market and continue to walk straight until near hotel sari jaya and turn right to reach formosa hotel.

The third walking route is via hotel panorama regency which I would not recommend as it is rather complicated as you need to cut across many shophouse and buildings.

Now,you just post another interesting stuff,bro...i have been walking from Harbour Bay to Formosa relatively a few times over my trips to Batam,and till today i still didn't know the road name or even how i manage to get to my destination...lol.

I followed the maps i created,it's a jpeg format,so i can copy and save it on my mobile phone (no GPS or internet required) :

There is also a bro by the name,qwerty2009 in this thread who created a giant sized map of all the place i frequent most too. I shant post the pic here but just the link cos the picture size is really big and may affect bros who are here viewing this thread :

And then another bro here by the name Meat also got share practically all the Batam Entertainment Places of Interest for cheongsters which i bookmarked them HERE.... for easier future reference.

Also,thank you for sharing the information on Blue Bird Taxi too. The only problem i have which i am think now is,if i were to call them where should i ask them to pick me when i am in Harbour Bay.
