For those of you who are confused to find cheap public transportation when arriving in Batam city, in this post I will write about Cheap Transportation From and To Hang Nadim Airport Batam. Sometimes being a true traveler we want to spend as little money as possible in order to save money and travel to other places right?. One of the expenses to be suppressed is the cost of transportation, especially transportation to and from the airport. 
In Batam, an emerging city in Indonesia, transportation costs to and from Batam are very expensive when using conventional taxis. But there are many alternative options that you can use to save money. Here are the details:
1. Damri Bus
One of the cheapest transportation in Batam is Bus Damri. Damri Bus in Batam serves transportation to and from Hang Nadim Airport. Where is Bus Damri located in Hang Nadim Airport? It’s right on the left as you exit from the Airport Door (about 40m away from the airport entrance), there is a big writing “Bus Damri” and the officer also sells tickets there. But you need to remember, Bus Damri in Batam only serve two routes namely:
- Hang Nadim Airport – Batu Aji , Rates Rp22.000
- Hang Nadim Airport – Jodoh , Rates Rp22.000
If your destination is not on that route, you can choose one and stop at the city center and take a cheaper online taxi (Grab or Go Jek) to your desired location. It’s easy right?
Because Damri Bus fleet is limited (its arrived per 1 one hour), so when the bus has arrived at the location, immediately go to the bus and you do not need to buy ticket to ticketing officer, because you can buy the ticket when in Bus. But you have to be careful sometimes Damri Bus officers here like to take advantage of the innocence of people who just came to Batam by raising the ticket price. Never give more than Rp22.000, you have to remember that.
2. Online Transport (Grab and Gojek)
If you want cheaper again, you can use online transportation, online transport application in Batam there are only two namely Grab and Go-jek, please download first through Google Playstore. However you can not directly order it at the Airport, there is still a conflict here between conventional taxis with online transport. The average online transport driver will refuse your order if you order it from Hang Nadim Airport. So What is the solution? Get out of the Airport! to find Cheap Transportation From and To Hang Nadim Airport Batam.
Hang Nadim Airport is not far from the main highway, just follow the people who lift the goods out of the airport, usually many people who prefer online transport for cheaper by way of exit the airport first. The drawback is yes, you will bother, especially for those who bring a lot of goods. But if you want to cheap ya have to sacrifice, right ?. If you are confused how to get out of the airport do not hesitate to ask.
3. Conventional Taxi
