Bali, KAI Plan Battery-Powered Tram from Airport to Canggu

The Bali provincial government and Indonesian railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) are planning the construction of a battery-powered tram to connect Ngurah Rai International Airport with the popular tourist destination of Canggu. This project aims to alleviate Bali's severe traffic congestion and promote sustainable tourism development. Currently, travel from Ngurah Rai International Airport to Canggu relies heavily on cars and motorcycles, leading to severe traffic jams, especially during peak tourist seasons. The tram is expected to help solve this problem by providing an environmentally friendly, quiet, and efficient public transportation option. As the tram will be battery-powered, it will contribute to reducing air pollution. KAI, with its extensive experience in railway infrastructure development in Indonesia, will provide technical support for the project's realization. The Bali provincial government anticipates that the tram will also boost the regional economy. Easier travel for tourists is expected to encourage more visitors to explore various parts of the island, benefiting local businesses. Furthermore, local residents will gain access to a more comfortable and reliable public transportation system. Details regarding the specific route, construction schedule, and costs will be further discussed between both parties. This plan is being watched as an innovative and sustainable solution to the transportation infrastructure challenges facing Bali.
