The tram line from Bali's airport to Canggu is estimated to cost more than 2 trillion rupiah (about $110 million).
The head of the state railway company KAI, which will handle construction, gave this figure to Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. The president ordered work to begin as soon as possible.
The tracks will be laid in two stages. The first section will run from the airport through Kuta to Legian, and the second through Seminyak to Canggu. KAI expects this to take about two years. The Governor of Bali has promised to start construction in 2027.
The Bali authorities and KAI agreed on the tram in September. The cars will run on batteries, with no overhead wires above the streets. The tram is meant to ease congestion between the airport and Canggu, a route used by up to 150 thousand people every day.
