Indonesia’s Bali hit by fuel crisis as huge queues form at petrol stations

Long lines have formed at petrol stations across Bali, including in Denpasar, Badung and Tabanan, as motorists report difficulty getting fuel. Some drivers have waited for hours. Governor I Wayan Koster said the island had adequate supplies and suggested panic buying was driving shortages at the pumps. However, fuel deliveries have struggled to keep up with demand, leaving some stations short. The disruption has raised concern among residents and businesses on the tourism-dependent island, where transport relies heavily on motorbikes and cars.
