The accumulation of passengers who will cross into Bali happened in Banyuwangi precisely at check Point in Terminal Sri Tanjung ahead of Ketapang port. The queue takes place regardless of the standard distance guard for the prevention of COVID-19.

One of the prospective passengers of Muhammad Syafi'i (38), complained of the inorderly queue. "We've had three hours of waiting, even there's a new one up and straight into the queue and served. Keep the distance is not there, "said Shaf'i, a man from Besuki whose daily work as a kuli building in Denpasar, Sunday (31/5).

Shafi'i convey that the density of the prospective passengers in Terminal Sri Tanjung inspection could not happen if the officers who inspect the entire file are very many. However, a limited number of personnel are assigned.

"The examined is many, ranging from free certificate COVID-19 through rapid test, travel letter, the letter of duty is working, but the clerk who checks there are only 4 people," Jelas Shafi'i.

Although he was finally able to qualify because it fulfilled all the necessary requirements, Syafi'i certainly trauma because the buildup of the prospective passengers could cause a new cluster in the spread of COVID-19.

"If stacking like this is the case, hopefully we are all still in good health when it comes to Bali," said Shafi'i who is also from Besuki, Banyuwangi regency.

In the same place, the head of Bali Provincial Transportation Office, IGW Samsi Gunarta recognizes the lack of officers who inspect the file of prospective passengers become one of the accumulation of prospective passengers. For that it will add the officers on Monday (1/6) tomorrow.

"We have to anticipate with many officers, tomorrow there will be additional officers who enter, from the Satpol pp Jembrana and also volunteers. If today there are 8 people, and it is divided into two logistics and passengers, "Samsi told Kanalbali.
But Samsi confirms, the density of the prospective passengers at Chek Point Terminal Sri Tanjung is not only caused by the lack of officers, but the completeness of the file candidate passengers. 

"The completeness of administration of prospective passengers also affects, because if it is not complete hard, unfortunately it if the insistent and incomplete can continue to turn that cause the queue as well," he explained.

For that, he urged all the prospective passengers who would cross to the port of Ketapang to Gilimanuk Bali to complete all the files that have been specified.

"It must be complete, for example today there are 2000 more numbers of people crossing. So we insist on having to complete all the necessary files, "he said. (ACH)

As can be seen by the chaotic photos and information above this is obviously not a good time to travel to or from Bali via the Gillimanuk ferry terminal.

Unless you want to wait three hours in line adding that to an already tedious long trip you better to stay in Bali or stay in Java and wait for a slower time.
