I would take ojek or even go on foot, if I did not have my heavy luggage! You know me: I avoid taxi whenever I can. I walk or take ojek.
When I enter Batam, I have one 23-kg piece of luggage plus my computer work bag. When I leave Batam, there is some additional 10 kg of fruits and the pieces of luggage have become two.

4 times a month and u save enough for a ST... |
$10 savings is not worth (for me) the time wasted and hassle suffered for a two-way trip Batam Center-Nagoya. Time is money.
Then I may also argue that if I don't drink my daily cups of coffee I save $5+ day, and in one month I have enough to go to the best PRC house of Geylang.
Still, it's just $5 saving. Nothing, if I am on holiday and I accept to spend $200-$300/day for hotel, seafood, girlS (yes, there's a "s") and drinks.
In business, it's not really the
absolute value, but the difference in
relative terms (percentage) which is important.
