You mean like Sindo Ferry or Majestic Ferry? I was contemplating signing up for the monthly one, then I realize that in a month, max I go is 4 times. Hardly worth the savings. And if I can get the same $28.50 that my friend is getting, then the membership will not be worth it already. For you, maybe different cos you got lots of time to take ferry.

...50k rupiah,2 way trip from ferry terminal to hotel and then send me off on my last day in Batam. No need to bargain,no need to 'rush'. Once a rushing mode hits me,it may spoil my holiday mood (especially when its the last few hours of my trip). I enjoy taking my time but i prefer to be in control of my own situation. My trump card is my silver membership, in case it triggers my "all else fail" plug "it" is going to send me back to any ferry terminal for free,just like a dual-layer fail-safe...hehehe... Only a few times I could remember myself taking taxi from outside Formosa hotel. 1st time was when I am with a friend, who don't mind paying for it (he pays for it anyway) when we were leaving for Harbour Bay mall, 2nd time was during CNY 2015 when I didn't stay in Formosa hotel and the taxi driver from Formosa drives me back to Goodway hotel for free. 3rd time was when I have not enough seat-space on my pre-booked taxi and have to grab an extra taxi to Jaya Dado for dinner. (we couldnt afford to make 2 to-and-fro trips with a single taxi due to time constraint and its distance) https://sbf.today/showpo...ostcount=30961 There was twice that i run some 'trust-test' on 2 taxi drivers too,hehehe...both times they drive me to Harbour Bay for free. (i have my reason/s for doing that) I don't like surprises (especially the not-so-good ones),hence I often plan things in advance. Knowing certain circumstances due to a certain action that may likely lead to a situation in advance, i can often find a solution (or 2) ahead of the time before it actually occur. (Hehehe...i kiasu ma) In order not to be held ransom by even more future surprises, i choose to travel via Harbour Bay more...I am much often, on the right timing and using taxi is one of my ways when i need to 'buy time',hehehe...if EVERY transport means were to 'dies off' from Harbour Bay ferry terminal,my worst scenario is to walk to hotel,hehehe...can i do that for the other ferry terminals? Its not "if" it will happen,but "when"... ...and history has taught me well, it has happened just not too long ago (and this dont just "happen" once nor twice before in my 33 trips). (i only visit Batam once or twice a month,safety and assurance should be my priority) Quote:
Can always change big 100k rupiah notes to small ones when i change my money from money changer/s. 2k and 5k rupiah notes is very important for me. It has the amazing power to make the world of Batam a happier place.

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
Different travelers type. I'm more impromptu and, being solo, I have the luxury of deciding on the course of action that's most suitable to me. On walking to hotel, that's why I don't usually book hotel for my first night if I go Batam on late ferry. Worst come to worst, Harris Hotel is just next door. Ya, just like Pacific is just next door to Hbb too. And, slightly further is Hotel 01 & Harmoni One.
There's no right or wrong MO, just what's most suitable to each individual. Soon.. already told Riki to prepare my silver card when I check in on 5/11. Finally found someone amongst the new staff that I can depend on. Last edited by tomcat007; 01-11-2016 at 09:39 AM. |

Like Tomcat007 had shared, the cheapest Majestic ferry tix can be bought for as low as $28.50, so this membership thingy is not really worth it. |

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
As far as I know, there is only 1 place that sells the 280k Majestic Ferry ticket; it can be used by any nationality (not restricted to only Indo passport). However, out of respect to the bro who shared it with me, I won't reveal it unless he gives his permission.
Alternatively, what I can share with u is where to purchase the same ticket at 290k, still much cheaper than SG prices (even cheaper than Majestic Ferry's senior citizen rate of $31). You can buy these tickets at the moneychangers at BCS Mall, level 1. I usually go there and buy 4 tickets at one shot. |

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
I bought mine at 290k at money changers opposite BCS mall. Sindo Ferry for me.
Ya, regarding the $28.50 tickets, need to try buying first. I just heard it last weekend and since I have existing stock, it's no go yet. You can get $30 tickets on Qoo10. They are sold at $35 each. But, with $10 coupon for $50 purchase, it becomes $60, and effectively cost $30 each. |

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
That's my question: is she aware about her sex tape? If she knows, also the staff of Formosa knows.
Please note that Formosa staff is the only who knows the real identity of this bandit, who has a famous web site where he sells the videos taken daily in Asia with hundreds of plain prostitutes, bar girls, semi-pros, or regular naive girls from malls, always taken with professional hidden cams (even in eyeglasses). The staff of Formosa could stop him, by simply communicating his real identity to police. Next time he enters Indonesia, they block him. This did not happen, as he returned to Batam at least once, after that first time (yes, more videos are circulating now, with a girl from a joint you all well know, another from Morena, etc) |
