As for Harbour Bay,the moment i step out of ferry at Harbor Bay ferry terminal to the moment i reach the same hotel mentioned, took me no more than 20mins on weekdays and about 30mins on weekend,hehehe...and that bothers me a bit. During CNY time,took me about 30 mins plus minus too.
And i havent count the time i return back from Batam to Singapore,hehehe...  |
actualli it's quite true tat HB is faster,even fery aso take a shorter time,clear custom aso faster (no 4get btm ctr custom will kick ppl back 2 sg if tourist make too much noise when in Q + usualli most major protest happens @ BC) & traveling time aso faster 2,tis i not doubts abt it.

actualli hor,if swimming 2 batam is cost $0, take ferry 2 HB & take ferry 2 BC all aso is cost $0, i tink all pple wil travel by HB liao lo....lol.
so it's cost vs convenience & save time liao. Pay less & sacrifice a bit convenience & time lo...lol...it's like taking a taxi 2 nagoya frm HB vs taking bus 2 nagoya liao...lol

My answer is obviously Harbor Bay ferry terminal. 
(partly becos in real, both ferry terminal's pricing is the same for me)
My question to all; "if" traveling from Singapore via Batam Center is S$26 or S$32 as previously mentioned,and "what if" the same pricing applies to Harbor Bay, which ferry terminal would you more likely choose to drop yourself off at? (given that your final destination would be Nagoya area)
I am just looking at things from another angle of view after reading the last page 773,hehehe... (i know,i know, people will say "this kind of thing will never happen, blah blah blah...",which is why i am saying "what if",hehehe...)
Just a presumption question. |
