Bus Service Extends Its Network to Ngurah Rai International Airport this Year

With the continuously increasing tourist arrivals at the Ngurah Rai International Airport, it is deemed that there is a greater need for more transportation to billet passengers arriving at the airport.

With this, the Trans Sarbagita Bus System is set to include a Sanur-Ngurah Rai International Airport-Nusa Dua route at the later part of this year as it plans to extend its network. From the time it started operation in 2011 until the present, the Trans Sarbagita System only connects Batubulan (Gianyar) to Nusa Dua and then connects Denpasar to Jimbaran.

This move is seen as beneficial for those who are traveling to and from the airport and to and from the villas in Bali for rent where they are staying. This includes tourists and employees or workers at the airport.

“We have discussed the plan for Trans Sarbagita to serve a new route to Ngurah Rai airport. We hope it can be completed soon,” said Governor Made Mangku Pastika.

Pastika also emphasized that no long-standing transportation provider serving in the route will be removed or disadvantaged as careful planning will be taken especially in the design of the route.

These plans of Trans Sarbagita are also in preparation for the expected influx of tourists and dignitaries who will be attending the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit that is scheduled to be held in Bali in October this year.

“Learning the high expectations of the new route from Denpasar to the airport that have been expressed by the Bali Legislative Council, we are making our best efforts to be able to start operating the Sanur-airport route before
the APEC Summit in October,” says Ida Bagus Parsa, operator head of Trans Sarbagita.


Parsa also emphasized that the airport administration is also very supportive and helpful in the discussions currently being held on the details of the new route.


When everything gets finalized, guests and tourists staying at the different Bali villas will already be more complacent that more transportation options are available for them while they stay in the island.
