If you use public transportation in Banjarmasin, prepare to have lot dosage of patience. Our travel includes waiting two hours in terminal, two times flat tire of the car.
Fun Alternatives: Dont wait in terminal. Wait outside and ask around car from Banjarmasin to Kandangan without getting to terminal. For this you have to wait or walk outside terminal (500 meter to 1 kilometer)
If you feel that the driver is not practice safe driving or you sense that something wrong with the car, calm and gentle reminder from you is necessary. If not, get out of the car and wait for other car to pass you by. The risk is that you have to wait for another car that may take time (again), but safety is still safety that needs to be prioritized. Listen to your gut instinct.
