One morning it was different! The Bemo drivers where not willing to negotiate. It was 100,000! The reason? An American had passed through and when the Bemo drivers asked for 100,000 he paid it. No negotiation, for him it was cheap.
Yes - I was in a bemo once and a foreigner got out and gave the driver IDR 50.000 (instead of usual 2,000-5,000). The driver's eyes lit up! Then the guy asked, "is that enough?". The driver's eyes lit up even more and he said, "just little more please".
His lucky day I guess.
