Introduction: Samarinda as a Strategic Hub in East Kalimantan
Samarinda, the capital of East Kalimantan, has long been a strategic hub for education, business, and culture. With its vibrant economy, proximity to Indonesia’s new capital city (IKN Nusantara), and its location along the mighty Mahakam River, Samarinda plays a central role in connecting Balikpapan, Bontang, Sangatta, and surrounding towns. Every day, thousands of students, workers, and families travel to and from Samarinda, making efficient transportation a necessity rather than a luxury.
In the past, options were limited: overcrowded buses, expensive ride-hailing apps, or exhausting private car drives. But now, Banyumili Travel offers a premium yet affordable solution with its HiAce Premio single-seat shuttle service. With daily departures, transparent fares, and door-to-door pick-up, Banyumili has become the preferred travel provider for anyone moving between Samarinda and other key destinations in East Kalimantan.
The service covers Samarinda – Balikpapan via toll road, Samarinda – Bontang, and Samarinda – Sangatta, with fares starting from Rp 250,000. Passengers can book easily through the official homepage of Banyumili Travel, pay securely via the payment page, or send packages using Banyumili’s delivery service. For fast booking, the WhatsApp hotline 082141864864 is always available.
Why Choose Banyumili Travel from Samarinda?
There are three key reasons Banyumili Travel has become the go-to provider in Samarinda: comfort, reliability, and affordability.
First, comfort. Traditional buses may be cheap but require passengers to wait at crowded terminals and endure long hours in narrow seats. By contrast, Banyumili’s HiAce Premio seats only 8 passengers in single-seat configuration, ensuring individual comfort. With reclining chairs, air conditioning, USB chargers, and door-to-door pick-up, a 5–6 hour trip feels effortless.
Second, reliability. Samarinda travelers rely on Banyumili’s consistent schedule, whether heading to Balikpapan for flights, Bontang for business, or Sangatta for family visits. Drivers are professional and punctual, and the company operates on a daily basis with multiple departure times (morning, afternoon, evening). This eliminates uncertainty that often plagues public transportation.
Third, affordability. Banyumili fares are priced to balance comfort with cost. A Samarinda – Balikpapan trip is Rp 250,000, significantly cheaper than private taxis or ride-hailing apps that can exceed Rp 700,000. Compared to driving your own car (fuel + tolls + stress), Banyumili saves time, money, and energy.
To experience these benefits, passengers can book through the Samarinda Travel Blog or directly via the homepage of Banyumili Travel.
