I asked the fellow sitting behind the card table in the ferry terminal at Padang Bai selling tickets to Nusa Penida in Indonesian for a copy of the timetable. He replied that he would not give me a copy of the timetable unless I bought a ticket!

I read in the Indonesian newspapers that the RoRo Ferry had once temporarily cancelled services to Nusa Penida, claiming lack of profitability. The Bali provincial government then coughed up a subsidy and the service resumed.

Nusa Penida has a very flash RoRo Ferry Terminal opened by Presiden SBY himself. It would be a pity if the terminal was not used.
