INDONESIA - Bali engorged

Traffic jams that paralyze day and night the main axes of Bali, especially between Kuta, Denpasar, Nusa Dua and Aéoroport may scare away tourists, warned the Jakarta Post. The number of vehicles increases each year of 12.42%, against a growth of 2.28% of road network. The 3.9 million Balinese use 1.55 million vehicles including motorcycles 71.81%, 19.39% of passenger cars, 9.1% of utilities and only 0.88% of vehicles in transit.

But the World Bank recommended in 2008 that Bali is developing a network of public transport covering 70% of vehicles in circulation. But nothing has been done to date. The 2.4 million foreign tourists and 3.1 million Indonesian tourists who annually contribute to traffic congestion Balinese will they desert the island of the Gods for a more serene tropical destination neighbor?
