The project is planned in two phases: from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport to Legian, then from Legian to Canggu. The executive estimates construction at about two years, according to Antara.

Business newspaper Bisnis separately reports the remarks to journalists. Its figure of more than 4 trillion rupiah covers two projects: Bali and the renovation of Jakarta’s Gambir Station. It should not be attributed to the tram alone.

These are announced budgets. The sources do not document full disbursement or a line already in service.
