He did not know how to go from Grand Batam Mall to my hotel in Jodoh. I had to show him the way (turn left, turn right, go straight, ...).
At arrival, he looked very thankful to me for my patience, because he was not able to carry me without my instructions ("I am new to Batam, Bos") and insisted to not make me pay ("Free! Free! Short ride!").

As obvious, I put 15k in his hands and I rejected his kind offer. Who works must be paid.
Nice story - thks for sharing.

For info in case u don't already know, there is a Gojek pt at GBM lobby 2 - see pic. Very convenient to book grabcar to hotel at jodoh, probably about 20K only. Much safer than ojek and no need to wear oily smelly helmet. Unless u enjoy the thrill.
