Have just come back and had a few problems with Bluebird drivers. Most Sanur drivers have always had meters that run faster but this time the problems were in Kuta. I told one to take us to Bubba Gumps, he took us straight past and wouldn't stop until I yelled at he and he let us out at Matahari. One took us on a long round about way even though I kept telling him this is not the way, where are you taking us? Just pretended he didn't speak English well and saying yeah, yeah. Cost 20K instead of 5K. Another's meter must have already running when we go in and our usual 5,000Rp trip was 7,500Rp. So beware although there isn't much you can do once you are in the cab especially if you are female.
