Getting around Bali ‘free-and-easy’ using alternative transportation methods is generally speaking not that easy. There are loads of taxis and “bemos” (chartered vehicles with drivers) available on Bali, that’s not the problem. You should take into consideration that there is almost always the D-tour to the commission paying Souvenir Shop and the same counts for the Restaurant referrals you get from your (taxi) driver which are commisionable to him as well most of the time. If you dare you can try to go by public transport / buses or minibuses, but the latter are usually crowded and you will have to stick to a ‘schedule’ which isn’t reliable nor convenient and can even ruin collecting beautiful impressions and sceneries from your vacation time.
