        "summary": "Bali is set to develop a new tram line connecting Kuta to Canggu, with PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) slated to build and operate the system. The Badung regency government is preparing dedicated lanes and integrated park-and-ride facilities to support the project. Officials believe the rail-based transport will reduce traffic congestion and stimulate more equitable economic growth across the region.",
        "content": "<p>Bali will soon have a mass transport tram line connecting Kuta with\nCanggu in North Kuta, Badung. The tram is planned to be built and\noperated by PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) and will run on a dedicated\ntrack yet to be constructed.<\/p>\n<p>Badung Regent I Wayan Adi Arnawa stated that, alongside the toll\nroad, building intercity rail connectivity is a priority as it will be\nfar more effective. \u201cSo that people from anywhere who want to work in\nBadung or Denpasar, or live in Denpasar, can commute,\u201d he said during a\nmeeting with KAI directors on Wednesday (5\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Rail-based transport infrastructure is considered a key solution to\naddress development disparities and spur growth in new areas. An\nintegrated connectivity system is believed to drive the local economy\nmore evenly to remote areas. \u201cA region will develop when it is connected\nto an already developed area. Imagine someone from Klungkung can live\nthere, earn money in Denpasar, and spend it in Klungkung, so the economy\nkeeps moving,\u201d Adi Arnawa explained.<\/p>\n<p>To support the tram\u2019s operation, the Badung regency government has\ndesigned a plan to widen main roads and provide a dedicated lane. This\nis to ensure the public transport mode does not get stuck in traffic\ncongestion. From a total road width of 24 metres, the local government\nwill allocate space for a median, pavements, and building setback lines\n(GSB).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we build public transport without a dedicated lane, it will fail.\nMy lesson is, once this 24-metre road is ready, I will take a 1-metre\nmedian, 2 metres on each side for pavements, and the 3-metre building\nsetback line still applies,\u201d Adi Arnawa clarified. In addition to\npreparing the road, the Badung regency government is also designing a\npark-and-ride concept by building integrated stations in strategic\nareas. This parking hub will serve as an integration point so private\nvehicle users can switch to the tram to reach their destinations.<\/p>",
