The Trans Sarbagita bus is available from 04:55 to 22:15. The Kura-Kura bus runs from 09:00, but doesn't have a set schedule.
Where do I get the bus from?
The Trans Sarbagita Bus can be found just outside of the Passenger Terminal at Bali Airport. Simply head through the exit doors and turn left. You will soon see the blue Sarbagita signs above you.
For the Teman Bus, look for the big blue Trans Metro Dewata bus stop located just outside of the Domestic Gate terminal.
Convenience
Although taking the bus from Bali Airport to Seminyak is cheap, if you’re travelling as a group, a taxi or private transfer will actually work out much cheaper. Plus, it’s not at all convenient. Not only do you need to change buses in Kuta, meaning you will need to carry your heavy luggage around the city, but if you land after 10 pm, no buses run. Once you reach the bus stop in Seminyak, you will also need to find alternate transport to reach your accommodation.
Editor’s Note
If you're travelling on a tight budget, then taking the bus may seem like a great transfer option. However, if you are carrying heavy luggage or arrive after 10pm, we recommend taking an airport taxi.
