but all the other costs. A car costs a lot more than most locals houses. If a driver owns his own car he is paying off 150 million + in credit, plus having to maintain the car, petrol etc.
But for all those that think that Rp400,000 is too much wait and see if the new crack down is enforced. When you can only use one of the licenced tourist cars I am sure you will find the prices are considerably higher. And with only 900 licenced cars on the island you wont always be able to get transport when you want it.
But that is a farily big IF.
