        "summary": "The Indonesian Ombudsman has reportedly included West Java among 10 provinces experiencing fuel shortages, but Pertamina says supplies across Greater Bandung and the Purbaleunyi Toll Road are continuing. The company described queues at some rest-area petrol stations as temporary congestion linked to peak-hour demand and said it was coordinating traffic management with toll-road operator Jasa Marga. Pertamina also outlined round-the-clock distribution measures to help restore fuel services in Bali.",
        "content": "<p>BANDUNG \u2014 In addition to Bali and Batam, West Java is also reportedly\nexperiencing fuel shortages. According to the Indonesian Ombudsman, West\nJava is among 10 provinces facing shortages of fuel (BBM).<\/p>\n<p>Reno Fri Daryanto, Area Manager for Communication, Relations and CSR\nat PT Pertamina Patra Niaga\u2019s West Java Regional unit, said the company\nwas continuing to distribute fuel throughout Greater Bandung and along\nthe Purbaleunyi Toll Road. \u201cCongestion at some petrol stations in\nPurbaleunyi rest areas is situational, does not occur every day and has\nnow eased. It is a normal fluctuation caused by increased consumption\nduring peak hours,\u201d he said in an official statement on Friday (16\nOctober 2026).<\/p>\n<p>He said Pertamina had coordinated with PT Jasa Marga to manage\nvehicles entering rest areas and had deployed marshals to speed up\nservice. \u201cWe urge the public to buy fuel according to their needs. For\nservice information, contact the 135 call centre or use MyPertamina,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga\u2019s Jatimbalinus Regional unit said\nit was accelerating the recovery of fuel supplies in Bali. It is doing\nso by optimising distribution around the clock and prioritising\ndeliveries to petrol stations.<\/p>\n<p>Ahad Rahedi, Area Manager for Communication, Relations and CSR at the\nJatimbalinus unit, said deliveries were being arranged based on the\nneeds of each petrol station and conditions on the ground. The measures\nare expected to speed up the restoration of fuel services for the\npublic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are optimising deliveries based on the needs of each petrol\nstation and maintaining continuous supplies 24 hours a day. With these\nmeasures, we hope fuel services for the public can be restored more\nquickly,\u201d Ahad said in a written statement on Tuesday (13 October\n2026).<\/p>",
