Thank you.
I'll give it a go next time I'm in Bali. I didn't see the prepaid taxi stand so I had to haggle. I got it down to 100k and when we got to Kuta the driver upped it to 150k or he wouldn't take me to my hotel door. I paid the 100k, got out of the taxi on Jalan Legian and walked the rest of the way to my hotel.
There should be buses to/from Kuta (Bemos, they're called. Bemi was a typo, sorry).
I'd love to give them a go too.
probably about AUD 50 cents per way.
