Not too sure on that, but I do see massage 28 trying to operate again. Pass by few days ago...

But if Dolly goes on like this, it can follow the footstep of massage 28.

Never underestimate the power of sammyboy.

Correct me if I'm wrong - didn't the husband Taufiq Kiemas die last year?

His deputy governor as governor of Jakarta is "Ahok" who I think is Chinese, plus he's from Solo/Middle Java which is a more gentle part of Indonesia - but a fan of heavy rock music!!

I hope this guy will succeed in the rough and tumble world of Indonesian politics.

Time to plan for my 8th trip to Batam ,i have some small questions that i am seeking answers on as below :

1. Is the bottom picture shown,a taxi booking number for Blue Bird?

2. Do the operators for Blue Bird taxi booking speaks English?

3. What are the things to watch out for when making a taxi booking?

4. Reason why i ask the 3rd question is becos i read from this thread that they are not allow to park inside Harbour Bay and i wonder if i book them,where should i be waiting for the taxi if they aren't allow to park at Harbour Bay?

In my coming trip,i am going to learn how to book and take a Taxi from Blue Bird. I know it may sound silly to some senior bros here but i feel that everything will also have 1st time.I am a newbie and i am willing to learn and later provide the necessary info to others once i gather them in my next Batam field trip. Blue Bird taxi is cheaper as they run by meter reading (but not worth if the place i go is very far) and i would like to learn more options of taking taxis in Batam beside just bargaining from unlicensed taxi drivers.

Hope someone who has experience in Batam Blue Bird taxi booking can help or at least show me a path to seek for answers.

My most sincere thanks to you.

things need to watch out if u make taxi booking for blue bird.
- there are many location they are not allowed to enter for passenger pick up such as nagoya hill mall, harbourbay & batam center terminal, airport.

if you're at harbourbay, and if u book them, you will need to walk to the main street for fetching.. same goes for nagoya hill, as per my own experience. i was asked to walk to main street and the driver will fetch us on the street..

- although they are running on meter, there's minimum charge. if i remember correctly, it's 25k.. if the meter running below 25k,, still have to pay 25k. so only good for long distance. such as nagoya to batam center..


beside bluebird, there are also other taxi operator running by meter.. such as taxi balerang.. silvercab. etc.

Ahok is 100% chinese from Belitung.. the place which its chinese are majority hakka. He is one tough guy. kinda hope he'll be able to succeeding jokowi's seat after jokowi finish his 2 president running terms. but it's still sounds too impossible. currently ahok is getting more his popularity among jakarta's people. he's infamous of slamming peoples on the spot. and don't fear of higher authority power or higher backing power such as mafia.. speak what he think is right.. although he may have many haters too..
