From now on, tourists will have to use the transportation services provided by Bali’s tourism business to “guarantee quality and decent tourism,” Coster said.
Tourists who are stopped by the police while riding a motorcycle can have their visa revoked. According to Bloomberg, the motorcycle rental ban is most likely related to the behavior of Russian and Ukrainian tourists.

Also in January 2023, a Russian and a Ukrainian died in an accident.
