If you don't mind going via Sekupang, the 3pm ferry in is zero $$ fare. You probably already know that as a regular, so this is for the benefit of others.
Only thing is, unless you have pre-arranged driver, the in-compound taxis are super-scalpers. They will open at 120k to Nagoya. I just tell them that the bus outside is 4k, and keep walking towards entrance. Of course, I never intend to take the bus, but they dunno that and I do tell them. Suddenly the offer goes down to 80k. I repeat, bus is only 4k and continue to walk, slower this time. Then comes the BS about, you get robbed outside. Much safer to take in-compound taxi. Then I tell them I will pay 10x busfare or 40k. Again more BS. Keep walking and about 20m from gate. Then: Boss, bos, "last" offer 50k." You stop for a sec and wave 4 fingers at them. More BS. 4 wives and 20 children to feed, hard times, gas prices just went up ..... You keep walking. 10m from gate, I hear. "Boss, boss, mari mari." I stopped, look back and wave 4 fingers, and pretend to head out. " Bang, bang, ok.ok" Hahaha .... !! Alternative option if they don't bite, is to go outside and take hail down a cruising cab. That is 50k, 40 if you counter. Well, 80k saving is wontan mee breakfast at Mexiso for 4 ppl. Enjoy !
Snyesy, he drove me in at agreed 40k but I gave him 50k anyway.
