In 1945, Indonesia achieved its Independence from Japan. However, starting from 1945 until 2019, the development of the railway system in Indonesia has stagnated. In early 2020, PT KAI announced a new project through their official Instagram account @Keretaapikita. It would be a collaboration project between the KAI, the Central Government and Regional Governments to plan and discuss the development of rail-based urban mass transportation in several big cities in Indonesia, including Bali. It was a part of the Government’s strategy to equalize area development throughout Bali and manifest accessible transportation. Including the supporting plan for North Bali Airport and mass transportation establishment. Over the years, a recent study revealed that the community interest in public transportation had plummeted drastically. However, it was shown that the community showed a strong perception in supporting the development of alternative modes of train/LRT/ART to all districts in Bali. Furthermore, the battery-based electric tram in Bali is scheduled to start its construction in March 2022. The completion would depend on the result of the feasibility study.
