Denpasar is a small but busy town. Public transport is by a three or four mini-bus called a “bemo”, which follows set routes in a clockwise direction around town. Most routes pass through Tegal Terminal on the Kuta/ Airport/Nusa Dua side of town, and Kereneng Terminal on the Sanur side of town. Some, but not all, go along Jalan Gajah Mada which is the shortest route between these two terminals.
Buses heading west to Java and Tabanan leave from Ubung Terminal. Buses and mini-buses to other destinations in Bali leave from the Kereneng Terminal (central bus station).
There is a direct bemo service from Nusa Dua and Kuta to Tegal Terminal. From Sanur there are services to Kereneng Terminal or Sanglah via Renon. To get to Jalan Gajah Mada from Tegal or Kereneng Terminals catch a 3 or 4 wheeler going to “Gajah Mada”.
