Dokar In Bali

Dokar in Bali

Talking about transportation, our minds will be dragged into a new phenomenon in which the emerge sale of products such as cars, motorcycles, buses which are mostly consumed by rent car companies in bali is rapidly  increasing   to evolve a new varied of incredible modern  design of means of transportation over the time. Let’s concern and pay attention for a while about the existence of traditional means of transportation, one those is cart. In  Bali particularly, cart that is commonly called Dokar  still has a very important role in supporting the economy both rural and urban areas. Lately,  this kind of traditional  transportation is rarely found on the streets. Its  existence has diminished because people tend to use modern means of transportation rather than Dokar.  And nearly 90% of the population in Bali has its own transportation for their  activities. So, what will happen  with the cart  in Bali ??Actually there is still a contradiction for its existence among the society.  Only  few people who still  care and maintain this kind of traditional transportation in Bali, otherwise some of them want to eliminate Dokar  because it is frequently considered as trouble maker on the street. It always makes traffic.  In this case, the government also takes an important role to decide an appropriate decision for the pro and contra in society. Hopefully there is a concern from the local government in order this traditional transportation will not be marginalized. Some dokars have recently changed their characteristic become a part of  tourism industry in which they offer service to the tourists for the sake of  business money oriented  from many visitors out of island. They can be encountered only in several cities such as Denpasar city, Klungkung regency and in Kuta beach area. The reasons why people are reluctant to use traditional means of transportation  because of  its speed is  much slower , the less capability of carrying out the luggage  and not efficient. But this is not an acceptable reason to displace  this unique means of transportation. Precisely with the existence of Dokar will be able of preserving and increasing the popularity and image of Bali which is famous for its culture ,customs and tradition. It can be proven from the festival which is held yearly by the local government. It means that this tradition is still alive in Bali.  Many tourists  are attracted by its various designs and decoration in that festival. Moreover, they are wondering if they could go around so as to try and feel how comfortable driving by Dokar .They will feel a different sensation while riding it. From the local dokar’s passenger’s opinion, they still use cart because they always intend to be closed with a natural touch of transportation means. Indirectly they have participated in preserving this ancestor’s heritage that must be maintained. The tourist is able to visit dokar  that is nearly located  in the town of Klungkung  or beside the tourist object destination  Kerta Gosa royal palace and in front of  Kuta beach gate. With the  horse power speed, this traditional means of transportation has a great contribution  to the nature and the environment to  reduce global warming which  is happening on our beloved earth, one of them is the pollution caused by carbon of motor vehicles such as cars, buses, trucks, ect. Although dokar does not offer time efficiency, speed and facility, but it has saved the preservation of the traditional transportation in Bali.
