TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Transport Minister or Transport Minister Budi Karya Sumadi said souvenir shops were the cause of traffic jams on the Bali Mandara toll road last Friday. Indonesian Transportation Society (MTI) transportation observer Deddy Herlambang commented on the issue.
“In my opinion, the existence of a souvenir shop is not essential because the essential problem is the lack of public mass transport as a feeder to Bali Airport,” Deddy told Tempo on Monday, January 1, 2024.
For your information: There was traffic jam on the Bali Mandara Toll Road on Friday evening, December 29, 2023. A video depicting the congestion conditions went viral on social media Instagram and Instagram
Deddy, however, confirmed the government’s stance on providing shuttle buses to I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali. But Deddy still took notes.
“The fleet must be large so that aircraft customers have many options when traveling to the airport and do not have to rely on a rental car,” said Deddy.

Previously, it was reported that Transport Minister Budi Karya Sumadi asked managers of souvenir shops in Bali to pay attention to the provision of parking services. He also asked the management to ensure that customer vehicles are not parked on the road so as not to disrupt vehicular traffic.
“It is true what is claimed (as a cause of traffic jams), the gift shop, yes, that is well said. The logic is that if a place has a parking capacity of 10 vehicles, it cannot accommodate 20. ” said Budi Karya on Sunday, December 31, 2023, in Badung Regency.
He called the vehicle traffic jam that spilled onto the Bali Mandara toll road on Friday evening an extraordinary incident that had never happened before. Therefore, he approved the plan for the Trans Metro Dewata pick-up and drop-off bus system as a short-term anticipation of congestion on the route around I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport.
Meanwhile, Bali Transportation Service (Dishub) IGW head Samsi Gunarta said the road to the airport has been busy since Friday afternoon. However, the traffic jam that spreads to the Bali Mandara Toll Road at night is unpredictable.
The smooth flow of traffic around the airport only collapsed at 12:45 a.m. local time. Meanwhile, traffic flow at the airport only came to a standstill at 2.00 WITA.
