Buses and
bemos: Cheapest motorized transport are buses. To anywhere on
the island, Rp50350. The local buses such as the one from Gilamanuk
to Denpasar or from Amlapura to Denpasar are often unbelievably
slow (48 stops in 1 hour) but excellent for drinking in Balinese
native life. Colts are much faster. The bemo and bus system on
Bali is now so extensive that you can go virtually anywhere worth
going to on day-trips from Denpasar. Do it in stages. For example,
if you want to go from Ubud to Gianyar, go to the Sakah intersection
first for RpSO, then flag down another bemo for the rest of the
way for another Rp50. Charter a whole bemo for Rp3-4000 per day
between 5 or 6 people. Just stand out on the roads and hitch-hike
whatever comes by. Hitching on Bali is the best in all of Indonesia,
getting rides with tourists, mail trucks or on the back of motorcycles.
