I took nearly 10 years, but finally I have convinced you.
Now let me tell you this.
This time I paid 50k taxi from HB to hotel, with 1 laptop office bag and one big piece of luggage.
On my return, free shuttle was offered spontaneously by the hotel manager, and I had 1 bag and THREE heavy pieces of luggage.

There is something you should learn from me. Forget taxies. Take OJEK.
I paid all ojek 15k each ride (tipping included). Money saved and faster trips.
