I just asked some one local at my villa if there were many scooter taxi drivers-she said no? Why is this? It's what I need....like now!!! Hole in the market? Is it the danger aspect....frustrating..
Where are you staying, Dunaden? If in Kuta/Legian/Seminyak area, there are loads of scooter taxis (ojek).
Seminyak....help me!!! About to be dropped at the square what's the going rate do you think? Saviour!!
what's the going rate do you think? Saviour!!
If you mean from Seminyak to Seminyak Square, then probably about Rp15,000. If you mean to Kuta Square, around Rp25 to 30K.
Dunaden, I'd like to add that regular taxis charge around the same price as ojek and you get to travel in a comfort. Ojek are not much cheaper these days.
saw an ojek on the road sideways the other day....better in a bluebird..and the bloody Russians r all broke..they get very cheap fares here and cum wiv no money..now Balangan beach is full of em...luv ma spellnn..they whinge at the s/market over 5,000 Rp.Ahhh god luv em...and keep Snowden..lol.my visitors jus gone home after 1 month,,I'm BANKRUPTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT....HICUPPPP//////
I get a bit tired of people condoning riding motorbikes/cars without valid licences. Yes, for a minor "blunder" (like your front wheel is over the white line at traffic lights), you probably still can pay the cop on the spot. (Maybe even get a free beer or two.) And sure, you might get away with it for years. Until the day when you're involved in a serious accident (irrespective of whose "fault" it was).

It is definitely not "smart" to be stupid.
