Why is the title Heri Taxi Bintan vs Grab Bintan and why was Heri the only one brave enough to put up a fight, considering there are so many taxi drivers in Bintan?
Heri Taxi Bintan is the only local taxi service daring to compete with online ride-hailing platforms like Grab and Gojek. The company fully understands the need for high-quality transportation services in Bintan for both international and domestic tourists. It stands to challenge the dominance of global capitalist interests; its slogan reads: “A homeowner does not negotiate with a thief who is looting their home.” in bahasa is TUAN RUMAH TAK AKAN BERUNDING DENGAN MALING YG MENJARAH RUMAH NYA.
This is not merely about how we earn a living; it is about ensuring that the business climate and local operators in Bintan can survive without falling victim to the exploitative practices of capitalist corporations. Companies like Grab and Gojek do not create new jobs for drivers in Bintan; instead, they leverage their technology to strip us of our livelihoods. They deduct 20–30% from every Grab or Gojek driver’s earnings for each completed order.
If a local driver offers a fair and reasonable price, you might want to give it a try. It is entirely up to you whether to support them or the local driver. This reflects the spirit of nationalism held by Heri Taxi Bintan.
