Like most of the countries,
taxi drivers use minimum charge around 7000 IDR at the moment you go inside the taxi.
Maybe this taxi use the button "new course" during he was already driving, so finally suddenly you saw 7000 IDR.
Also with most of taxi company including BlueBird, there is a minimum Charge of 25 000 IDR even for just few meters.
I understand that he can surprise you, if the rules are different in your country.
