If i am a senior citizen,i will pay S$32 to go via Harbour Bay ferry terminal. I definitely reach my hotel around Nagoya way faster & more efficiently,hehehe...for the last 4 over years,i have been devising the best way for myself to travel around in Batam.

My best way that best suits me, go via Harbour Bay via Horizon (S$48) or Batamfast (S$39),for FREE,hehehe...and then have the hotel pick me up from Harbour Bay and end of my batam trip ,send me back to Harbour Bay,again for all of it free. How much do i save? I stopped counting for nearly 2 years ,hehehe...

If i have friends with me,i will usually walk over to Ggi hotel to order Gocar costing around 9k rupiah or so to Nagoya area,hehehe...shared by 3 pax including myself,each person just pay around 3k rupiah. Comes out to be the same price as ankor van (walking distance should be quite the same),hehehe...and if i am staying in my regular hotels,fare would be zero rupiah (free pickup/drop-off).

I notice everyone's traveling habit can be different,hehehe...some would love to travel a little longer distance to their staying place in Nagoya,queue a little longer for their passport to get chop during entry at immigration as they get to see more indo culture during their travel too. Some wish to reach where they wish to be at the nearest possible time. Some who were really newer or 1st timer,hence they just wish to be very super sure on those many certain aspect. But certainty most time mainly applies to regulars, eg i am kind of sure,regulars no longer visit ALL booking joints/MPs in their every single trip anymore, and most time will visit their favourite food eateries,eat their favourite food , shop for only things they come Batam for ,etc etc. The whole mentality is different for the different level and types of traveler.

Over a longer period of time, the best method of traveling will always be, those that are most suitable for oneself.
