        "summary": "Damri has launched a direct Jakarta\u2013Denpasar bus route, currently in a trial phase with limited weekly trips, as demand for cross-island land travel grows ahead of peak travel periods. The service will depart from multiple Jakarta points with a standard fare of around Rp590,000, and could increase frequency if demand remains strong.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 The public now has a new option for travelling from Jakarta\nto Denpasar by land. State-owned bus operator Perum Damri has launched a\ndirect bus route from Jakarta to Denpasar, Bali. The move aims to meet\ndemand from travellers wishing to reach the Island of the Gods by road\nahead of the peak mudik and holiday periods.<\/p>\n<p>Until now Damri operated routes as far as Banyuwangi, the last stop\nbefore crossing to Bali. However, rising demand prompted the company to\nestablish a direct service to Denpasar.<\/p>\n<p>The new route is still in a trial phase. In the initial stage,\njourneys will be conducted on a limited basis and will be expanded if\nmarket demand is strong enough.<\/p>\n<p>A Damri representative said the route marks an initial step in\nexpanding long-distance cross-island land transport connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The new route we are launching is from Jakarta to Denpasar, and this\nis direct. Previously we only reached Banyuwangi,\u2019 said Agus Hari\nSurvijanto, Senior Vice President (SVP) of Commercial and Business\nDevelopment at Damri, to CNBC Indonesia in Central Jakarta on Friday (6\nMarch 2026).<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the service remains limited as part of operational\ntrials.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For this initial phase we are running it as a trial run. At present\nit might be once a week, but it is regular. If demand is good, we will\nadd,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the potential demand for trips to Bali is actually\nquite large. Therefore Damri is looking to increase trip frequency in\nthe near future.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We are confident that demand to Denpasar is high. If the response is\npositive, it is not impossible that we may operate every day in the\nfuture,\u2019 Agus said.<\/p>\n<p>The Jakarta\u2013Denpasar journeys will depart from several points in\nJakarta, including Kemayoran, Cakung, and Terminal Pulo Gebang. All\nthree departure points will charge the same fare.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For the Jakarta\u2013Denpasar route, the normal fare is around Rp590,000.\nDuring the Lebaran period there is usually an increase of about 10% to\n20%,\u2019 said Nardi, General Manager of Damri Jabodetabek Branch.<\/p>",
