Is there a Grab / gojek available in Tanjung Pinang? This question is very much asked by tourists. The answer is yes. But you need to be careful to use the grabcar / gojekcar service in the Tanjung Pinang Ferry Terminal area. Because grabcar drivers are not allowed to enter the arrival terminal looby and pick up passengers. This is a rule that applies in the Tenjung Pinang ferry terminal area. There are many cases of scuffles between online taxi drivers (grabcar / gojekcar) that have occurred with official port taxi drivers.
