🚚 Section H — Transportation & Storage

✅Open· 100% ForeignMedium-High RiskAggregated

Urban passenger transport — operating scheduled or chartered buses, minibuses, and shuttle services within and between cities. This includes: city buses and urban transit, airport shuttle services, resort/hotel charter transfers, and inter-city regular routes (AKDP — Antar Kota Dalam Provinsi). The code covers the vehicle operation business itself, whether scheduled (trayek) or unscheduled (non-trayek) charter. Critical PMA distinction: the ride-hailing app model (Gojek, Grab, InDriver for ride orders via app) is explicitly reserved for Indonesian MSMEs and cannot be operated by a PT PMA. The PMA-accessible opportunity is the transport operation itself — charter fleets, shuttle services, hotel/resort transfers, and formal bus routes.

PMA

Fully open (Terbuka) — 100% foreign ownership (for charter/shuttle operations).

2020 → 2025

Direct match from KBLI 2020 (MATCH_LANGSUNG). Urban transport classification is stable. PP 28/2025 adds the formal OSS pathway; KIR and trayek requirements are governed by UU LLAJ 22/2009 and are unchanged.

Bali Intelligence

🚌 Bali Transport: The Real PMA Opportunity

The mass ride-hailing market (Gojek, Grab) is UMKM territory — PMA cannot operate a competing app
The actual PMA opportunity is in organized charter and shuttle operations serving the tourism economy

High-demand corridors (2025):

Airport–Canggu / Airport–Seminyak: Kuta taxis still dominate but corporate shuttle contracts for hotels are underserved
Denpasar–Ubud: One of the most traveled tourist routes; no quality scheduled service with Western UX exists
Resort shuttle circuits: Large Nusa Dua and Uluwatu resorts pay IDR 2–4M/day for dedicated charter vehicles
AKAP Bali–Surabaya / Bali–Malang: Long-haul overnight coaches via Ketapang ferry; underserved quality tier

EV fleet opportunity:

Government incentives for electric commercial vehicles (2024 Perpres 55/2019 and amendments)
An EV shuttle fleet (Tesla vans are too expensive; Hiace/BYD electric conversions are feasible) serving premium Bali hotels is a genuine white space

ITDP/BRT tender:

Bali Provincial Government has received World Bank/ITDP support for Bus Rapid Transit planning. Formal tender processes for BRT operation could open B2G opportunities for PMA transport companies

⚠ KIR is real enforcement:

Dishub does conduct roadside checks in Bali, especially in peak season (July–August, December)
Expired KIR = vehicle impounded. 6-month cycle is non-negotiable for commercial operators
