Why It Matters
Bali has seen fuel shortages and queues at gas stations as traffic congestion hampers deliveries.
Bali authorities have urged residents to use public transport amid fuel shortages and queues at gas stations, said the head of the provincial transport department, I Kadek Mudarta.
“Public transport is one of the alternatives, and the other in such conditions is electric transport,” Mudarta told reporters.
The agency expects that the use of public transport will help reduce the load on roads amid fuel shortages. Mudarta added that bus services are prepared for a possible increase in passenger traffic.
Earlier, Bali Governor Wayan Koster said that the fuel supply situation should normalize within one to two days. According to him, there are reserves at oil depots, but delivery to gas stations is hampered by road congestion.
