Commuting in Denpasar

Denpasar doesn’t have many commuting options. One can take a taxi or bemo, which is a small van to transport many people together. Both are widely available. Bemo runs on many routes but somehow the routes are a bit complicated for long-distance Bemos. Tourists can also rent a motorbike or scooter to commute. Though most of the city centre can be easily navigated on foot and walking is better.

Tip: When going from one Bemo terminal to another remember to pay the fare same as the local. The foreigners are asked to pay more, so do remember to negotiate the fare
