Bali & Bangkok

That's normally good advice, and I would usually do the same, but I just came back from Bali and had a very different experience there. This guy had his own minibus and used to hang out in front of the resort I was staying in (Bali Tropic Hotel in Nusa Dua). I used to get a metered taxi from there into Kuta most evenings, and the metered fare was always around 75,000 Rupiah. One evening there didn't seem to be any taxis around so I asked him how much he would charge and he quoted 70,000 Rupiah. He got my business that evening, and I used him every day from then on. I would never have expected a private transport operator to match a metered taxi fare, so in fairness to this guy I just wanted to go on record and mention it here. Once I arrived in a Surabaya bus terminal a way out from town. When the taxi drivers saw me they instantly established a price cartel and asked 50.000 rupiah for a ride to downtown. I found the fare ridiculous. Soon a taxi driver at the rear end of the queue broke it down and was willing to drive me to town the meter on. The ride cost me 8.500 rupiah......... |
