Free shuttle buses serve Mandalika MotoGP visitors in Lombok

Lombok — Free shuttle buses are serving ticket holders attending the 2026 MotoGP at Mandalika from Friday, Oct. 9, through Sunday, Oct. 11, with services operating from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. WITA.

The transport network connects visitors with the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit from points including Mataram, Senggigi, Lembar Port, Bangsal Port and Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport. The service is intended to ease travel to the circuit during the three-day event.

Visitors using the provincial shuttle service must show proof of a MotoGP Mandalika 2026 ticket. The provincial government prepared five pickup locations across Mataram, West Lombok, Central Lombok and North Lombok, while Perum DAMRI separately prepared 118 buses for free service during the event.

Why the Mandalika shuttle matters to visitors

For foreign visitors, the arrangement provides a publicly described alternative to arranging separate transport from Lombok’s airport, ports or accommodation areas. Routes are designed to link arrival points and urban pickup locations with the circuit, while DAMRI buses also move spectators within the Mandalika area.

The provincial shuttle service was limited to 10 p.m., while the DAMRI service was scheduled to run until 11 p.m. The provincial network covers five external routes or pickup points, and DAMRI operates buses inside the circuit area.

The event runs from Oct. 9 through Oct. 11, 2026. The free transport is tied to the MotoGP event and is available to spectators with tickets; there is no stated continuation beyond those dates.
