whether Bluebird is or isn't owned by Balinese or Javanese. Both islands formed part of Indonesia last time I looked :-). Even if people have an issue with Javanese ownership I can't understand why they would want to discriminate against the drivers because from what I have seen the drivers in all the companies seem to come from all corners if Indonesia, including Bali.
I think that this may come from that old urban myth "all Balinese good. All Javanese bad".
I think the majority of Bali cab drivers are just fine but you will always get the odd bad apple. I also think the other companies, in most cases, are lifting their act so that Bluebird isn't the only stand out quality act.
However that is just my opinion.
