I have not heard of 40k per hour taxi trip so far,i may have overlook. I use a 30k to 40k from Point A to Point B theory for single trip (50k occasionally).
This is how i measure my taxi trip :

In the eye of quite a number of unreliable taxi drivers in Batam,i should be considered a stingy man,hehehe...a few of them even siam me far far when i want a whole day taxi booking. Quite a delightful sight to see taxi drivers running away from me when i approach them in Batam at times.
Words do spread fast among taxi drivers/ojek in Batam.

I have use your advise on Taxi since day 2 of my Batam trip. Why not day 1 but day 2,thats becos i got chopped badly during day 1 before i read your message in this thread. From that day onward,in my mind (and in my trip summaries too) there is no such as a reliable taxi driver in Batam. This is one of the basic advise i have taken up to date. Others may not agree but this is my perspective.
The other basic advise i have taken and got embedded into my mind was from bro Newyorker's 100k hj and 200k fj in massage shop which i always repeat in this thread and in all my summaries. And i use that as a bench mark for all my bargaining in most massage shops.
"i 1st time come Batam ,my friend tells me, hj 100k,fj 200k...",hehehe...
The girls can mark their price up high high,i can also start low low,hehehe...

I think he might have went a little too late on the hours,so likely the joints that were open late in Batam and still have SYTs were mainly Morena series of joints. And these joints were in my To-Avoid-List on my signature. Plus if he really stays in/around Harris Resort back then,the cost for bringing and sending the girls to and fro will be added into it.

Try putting yrself in the okt & girl's shoe to think. The girl can still runaway regardless hw far the distance they are from the joint.

I agreed with your points.
We are in foreign land and they are in their own land,own country.
