That does sound bad.
When I was a young woman in Jogya I had a pretty hairy experience one night. I was on my own in a taxi, and asked to be taken across town to my hotel. Instead, the driver drove me way out into the countryside. He pretended not to understand my Bahasa and would not stop or turn around. I thought I was going to be raped and murdered. After about 20ks he turned around and took me back to the hotel. Afterwards I realised he wanted to get the metre up (my friend had insisted he use it when she put me in the taxi).
I had a pretty creepy experience with a Balinese taxi driver recently. I am always friendly and up for a chat, but I think he mistook my intentions. He started asking really personal questions about my sexual preferences and telling me all about his conquests. I could not get out that taxi fast enough (and I hope never again to see a man trying to convey "vagina" via charades!)
