We have always used both, until our last trip. Hubby asked a taxi driver about the taxis and who owns them. We found out that the Bluebirds are owned by the soekarno group in Jakarta.
We will and have used drivers ever since. Yes I know the hotels are the same, but these taxis are clearly over populating the area and whilst they provide a meagre income and obviously a cheaper market than drivers im not sure im wanting to give everything away each time we need to go somewhere.
I guess it has come to my attention than the Balinese dont really own Bali do they? and the money goes out all the time and thats why there is such poverty. What have we done in the name of a holiday I ask you?
