Don't know about the website, but each bus stop has a map showing routes and stops. Ladies with tight skirts, guys with short crotches and the old and feeble may still find them a bit challenging as some of the drivers have an amazing idea of how far a person can leap from bus to platform.[/QUOTE]Still it might be useful to find out about the free feederbusses that run around empty and if there is some sort of timetable.In principle,it is a very good and cheap initiative,but the main target of it,getting people off their motorbikes,is not achieved as nobody understands the system.

Been to Timor Leste and it isn't cheaper than anywhere we would usually consider for a visa run.[/QUOTE]For comparison.... would you be able to say your cost. Citilink only starterd their system on 1 Sept 2015. Btw... i'm not saying it is better... just opening ideas.

Since my mission wasn't visa related also can't attest to how well that functions. One thing is for sure; the accommodations are limited as to quantity and quality. A room that would run $40-$50. US per night in Bali will run about $100.and that is top of the line.

The duty free store is in line with the airport and much of what was visible for a tourist..........limited selection and comparable price-wise to the rat's nest in KL and the poorly named "duty free" in Taipei. The latter which has prices higher than Seattle's retailers.
