Transportation is a mobility support for every people specifically the tourists. When visiting Batam Indonesia, tourists can use cheap transport like ojek (motorcycle taxi), Passenger vans or mikrolet (know as Metro Trans by the locals), bus, and pancung (boat).

When traveling using taxi, you have to bargain for the cost. Tip for any passenger is to bargain the half price the driver ask. When the deal is achieved, passenger may travel by that taxi, but if not, try to find another taxi.

Going by ojek in Batam is also a good alternative. It is cheap, but it’s suggested to bargain the charge a little bit lower. By using Ojek, the passenger can stop anywhere he likes to visit tourism place, take photographs, or by drink and meals. Knowing the schedule of event would make the trip focused. The passenger should wear helmet for safety.
