It was also a busy weekend at the Gilimanuk Ferry Port. The Manager of Indonesia Ferry Water Transportation Gilimanuk, Ltd. Windra Soelistiawan said that the majority of traffic crossing the Bali strait from Gilimanuk Port from Saturday Oct 31st until Sunday Nov 1st 2020 was private vehicles.
“The number of people who were using the Ferry’s service has increased by 50 percent.” Windra told Radar Bali.
Despite the increase in tourists, the port didn’t experience large crowds at the ticket counters or parking areas where people wait for the ferries.
Windra had been was worried that traffic would become backed up on Sunday night because he predicted that it would be the peak of the counter flow when the holiday ends.
