Taxis in Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Jakarta

I just came back from my trips to Jambi & West Sumatra and arrived at Soekarno-Hatta Airport last Friday night.

As soon as I found my luggage, I went out and try to find taxi. Once you've found yourself outside the luggage room, then you will meet a bunch of people offering their taxi for you. I don't get it, as far as I know there are taxi's posts for passengers to order the taxi they want (and I already on a queue to get may taxi). What I found was a man was following me everywhere I go just to offer his taxi to me. I already said no but he still following me and keep asking and talking to me. It's really-really annoying.

Fortunately, the man walk out and leave me. But I couldn't feel calm since another man came approaching me and -again- offering his taxi to me. "What's wrong with you, guys...? I already on a queue and you still bothering me...?"

In my opinion, for sure, this condition should be fixed. The airport should clear their area from this kind of people. Passengers will not like the situation, specially new people arrived in Jakarta. My advices if you want to use taxi from the Soekarno-Hatta Airport are:
1. Choose your favorite taxi (Blue Bird, Gamya, Express etc).
2. Talk to the taxi's representative (not the driver) and tell your destination, that officer will note your destination and put you on a queue.
3. Wait for your taxi.

Other option: you can use airport bus to several area in Jakarta, Bogor, Bekasi and Tangerang. Or call your friends in town and tell them to pick you up at the airport.
