Hi, saw your post and just want to add in some additional information..
1) For blue bird and silver cab aka Almi is a must for them to on their meter.
2) The only meter cab that are allowed in most malls, terminal pick up is silver cab
3) silver cab is overall cheaper by a bit compared to blue bird as their starting fare are 6k rp, blue bird 8k rp.
4) The minimum taxi fare for both companies are 25k excluding gantry fee of 2k rp if applicable
5) For the meter traveling from Nagoya to Batam Center terminal will cost around 40-60k rp (so your fare of 50k is acceptable)
5) For the meter traveling from Nagoya to Sekupang terminal will be at least 80k to around 100k rp (hence, in this case hiring a private taxi or private negotiation will be more recommended as the usual fees are only 60-70k.
6) Skip the taxis in the malls/terminal if you are concerned about paying high fare.
Peace.
