Taxi operators are told to either comply or not operate there.

I guess as much,hehehe...the photo above was taken outside Jco,beside Swissbel hotel,and i tried taking a taxi from there when there was 2 taxis parked there yesterday evening,and guess what.
You are right,they tried to quote me 50k rupiah to Nagoya. I showed them that sign board on the picture above on the 30k rupiah charges,they complied,hehehe....they actually parked their cars there BLOCKING the sign board but i went there to take a photo of it.
Next thing now,i will try to call the number stated on the board to see if they would come to the hotel to pick me up at 30k rupiah,hehehe...

Also, for those who have not been there for quite some time, the taxi stand is now changed location. Once you arrived, you'll see Starbucks (yes, it's new), so turn left to the exit and follow the path to the end where the taxi stand is located.

A lot has obviously changed in Harbour Bay. Harbour Bay Ferry terminal Arrival hall area has a Starbuck,hehehe...
I think bro Blackpage might probably like it. Only sad thing for me is the area is now air-conned...and has become a no smoking zone.
