Bali is facing fuel shortages that have left motorists waiting in long lines at gas stations across the island. In response, officials have ordered three days of work from home to reduce traffic and ease the long queues.

Regional Secretary Dewa Made Indra announced the work-from-home measure will run from October 15 to 17, 2026. The policy aims to cut traffic and ease long lines at fuel stations by keeping workers off the roads and lowering fuel demand during the period [261999].
