About Terminal Pesiapan
Terminal Pesiapan
Terminal Pesiapan is a public bus terminal in Tabanan, Bali. It is located within a short distance from the town center and acts as one of the area's regional transport terminals, linking Tabanan people to other villages and Denpasar, Bali's capital city. While not as busy as other ports on the island, Terminal Pesiapan is vital to local everyday travel and government-supported transportation projects.
Terminal Pesiapan was built to meet the expanding transportation demands of Tabanan Regency. Though not a major intercity or tourism center, it has become an essential point for public transportation in Bali. Over the years, the terminal has seen little activity, but its importance has increased with the arrival of government-run services such as Trans Metro Dewata, which now includes Pesiapan as one of its route end locations. The terminal also serves as a drop-off and pickup location for local rural minibuses (angkutan pedesaan), which remain a popular method of transportation in less urbanized regions.
