Bus
The usual route to Java is a bus from Den-
pasar's Ubung Terminal to Surabaya
(120,000Rp, 10 hours), which includes the
short ferry trip across the Bali Strait. Other
buses go as far as Yogyakarta (180,000Rp, 16
hours) and Jakarta (275,000Rp, 24 hours),
usually travelling overnight.
Book directly at offices in the Ubung termi-
nal, 3km north of the city centre. To Surabaya
or even Jakarta, you may get on a bus within
an hour of arriving at Ubung, but at busy
times you should buy your ticket at least one
day ahead.
There are no tourist shuttle buses to/from
Denpasar.
GET TING AROUND
Bemo
Bemo take various circuitous routes from and
between the many bus/bemo terminals
around. They line up for various destinations
at each terminal, or you can try and hail them
from anywhere along the main roads - look
for the destination sign above the driver's win-
dow. The Tegal-Nusa Dua bemo (dark blue)
is handy for Renon; and the Kereneng-Ubung
bemo (turquoise) travels along Jl Gajah Mada,
past the museum.
