Maybe the taxi drivers do say there is a traffic jam and that the long way around is more conveinient. If you have you been stuck on legian for nearly an hour in a taxi the long way around doesnt seem so bad. I always say to go the long way around and at the end of the day it may cost a total of $3 to $4 more, and you get to see some different scenery. You pay $5 to get in a taxi over here.
