The clever 1 gets the lowest rite price & the best looking ger with the best service.

The cleverest of all gets the highest kwn price & later claim being the emperor wearing his new clothes. The rest lookin wil jus laugh laugh & clap their hands rejoicing over the emperor's clothings...lol.

U talking abt the 2-3 yrs ago talks on taxi prices? Price do chng frm then til nw,oil price goes up,cost of living aso up...+ ppl chng too. I tink it's part of their indo culture 2 quote a higher intend price 4 foreigners.

A bule,a non-btm Chinese & a btm local walk towards a supir, make a guess which of the 3, tis 1 taxi driver wil hope 2 serve most?

People like me barely pays a juta and/or more for overnight girls in Batam over practically all my Batam trips. So,those 1.5 juta to 2 juta quality girls are out for me. Then again it doesn't mean I don't go for quality, just not that kind of pricing.

Underage however is a no no. I am in Batam to enjoy myself, not to seek trouble.

Interesting! I did a bit of digging and found out how to book a Uber Taxi in Batam...here's what I have found dated 1st June 2017.

Whether you are heading to work, enjoying the beatiful Nongsa Beach or exploring Balerang Beach, getting around and exploring Batam are about to get a whole lot easier – as a safe, convenient and affordable ride is minutes away.

Now, you can use Uber app to push a button and get a reliable ride with uberX – our four-wheel option – in minutes, whenever and wherever you are in Batam.

To celebrate the arrival of Uber in Batam, we are giving away a special promo for uberX users. When you take an uberX trip in Batam, enjoy 50% discount until July 31. *The fare that you see in the app is the discounted fare. The promo will not be applied if riders change the destination in the middle of the trip or taking several stops.

Not only that, you can also enjoy 5 FREE RIDES anywhere in Batam up to Rp25,000 (until June 11) by entering the promo code UBERXBATAM in the PROMOTIONS option in the Uber app.

Here are steps on how to apply promo code in the Uber app:

• Open the Uber app.
• Tap “≣ Menu” on the top left of screen.
• Tap “PAYMENT” option.
• Tap “Add Promo/Gift Code”
• Enter your promo code.

Share the #UBERXBatam info on your social media accounts and follow us on Facebook Uber Indonesia, Twitter @Uber_IDN, Instagram @Uber_IDN and LINE Uber Indonesia Official Channel for the latest updates.

...and as for Grab. Pretty much quite similar with the above...

Looking forward to see more competition, and a lower taxi fare in Batam in the near future.

More references on Batam transportation all sum up for my own bookmarking.

Other phone-booking taxi services in Batam :

Silver Cab : +62 778 461000

Blue Bird Taxi : +62 778 421234

Some hotels, Massage Spa and other business entities in Batam also provide free or cheap enough shuttle services too.

Another "something" below that look interesting in Batam, while I was doing my digging, hehehe....

(below photo does not have anything to do with Grab or Uber)

I will try to look into the above more, in my next Batam trip.

Am KIV-ing for now....

* please avoid quoting my whole long post, thank you.

A fair warning to those who choose to save a few bucks by calling grab taxis in Batam

Avoid calling Grab or Uber or risking getting into trouble with the locals.
