In Reply to: Transport around Ubud posted by tomnlisa on Tuesday, 26. April 2016 at 06:42 Bali Time:
I was hoping a forum member would give you a heads up on Ubud transport prices as I would be interested in other's views. In the other popular areas of Bali we opt for a metered taxi to get around. I do understand the Ubud 'council' not permitting taxis in the area to enable locals to make a living. But I do object that each time you require transport you have to bargain with a price starting at least five times more than a metered taxi. Having let off a little steam; we were generally paying Rp.30,000 around the Monkey Forest Road area, after walking away from a couple of drivers. At night when you might need to get home from a restaurant you probably will pay Rp. 50,000. We enjoy Ubud very much.
