Planning a trip to Bali, traveler Ping Ping raised a question about transportation: If she and her companion plan to stroll around their hotel, with the market, beach, restaurants, and spa all within a 15-minute walk, should they rent scooters or use a ride-hailing app? Given that Bali is known for traffic congestion, she doesn’t want to waste time stuck in traffic for short distances.
In response, fellow traveler James shared his personal experience. He mentioned that before going to Bali, he considered renting a scooter, but after trying Gojek (a scooter taxi service), he found it incredibly convenient! The rented scooter was left unused, and he didn’t even consider riding it again on his return trip.
