A neighbors child plays as Dokar driver Nyoman Yasa 35 cleans his Dokar Oct 14 2012 Denpasar Bali Indonesia The Dokar
(horse and cart) is traditional local transport In the 1960s and 1970s the Dokar was one
of the main transportation modes transporting people and produce around the city Over the years as Bali has transformed into a tourist mecca the Dokar has seen a
massive decline in business to the point of virtual extinction It is estimated that prior to
2002 there were over 200 Dokar working in the Denpasar region Today only a handful
remain with numbers now standing at approximately 17 working in Denpasar

Denpasar Bali Indonesia As Denpasar struggles with uncontrolled population
growth it has become the most populated region on the island
with more than 15million people working daily in the city
As a result the chronic traffic congestion makes it difficult for
the Dokar to work effectively The cheap price of motorcycles
has contributed to the Dokar slowly becoming obsolete as
people prefer to use motorcycles to avoid traffic
jams and carry produce (Chris McGrathGetty Images)

A neighbors child plays as Dokar driver Nyoman Yasa 35 cleans his Dokar Oct 14 2012 Denpasar Bali Indonesia The Dokar
(horse and cart) is traditional local transport In the 1960s and 1970s the Dokar was one
of the main transportation modes transporting people and produce around the city Over the years as Bali has transformed into a tourist mecca the Dokar has seen a
massive decline in business to the point of virtual extinction It is estimated that prior to
2002 there were over 200 Dokar working in the Denpasar region Today only a handful
remain with numbers now standing at approximately 17 working in Denpasar

Kusir Nyoman Mantra Manik 55 helps passengers load up
his Dokar at the Badung market October 15 2012 in
Denpasar Bali Indonesia As Denpasar struggles with uncontrolled population
growth it has become the most populated region on the island
with more than 15million people working daily in the city
As a result the chronic traffic congestion makes it difficult for
the Dokar to work effectively The cheap price of motorcycles
has contributed to the Dokar slowly becoming obsolete as
people prefer to use motorcycles to avoid traffic
jams and carry produce (Chris McGrathGetty Images)

Kusir Nyoman Mantra Manik 55 helps passengers load up
his Dokar at the Badung market October 15 2012 in
Denpasar Bali Indonesia As Denpasar struggles with uncontrolled population
growth it has become the most populated region on the island
with more than 15million people working daily in the city
As a result the chronic traffic congestion makes it difficult for
the Dokar to work effectively The cheap price of motorcycles
has contributed to the Dokar slowly becoming obsolete as
people prefer to use motorcycles to avoid traffic
jams and carry produce (Chris McGrathGetty Images)

A neighbors child plays as Dokar driver Nyoman Yasa 35 cleans his Dokar Oct 14 2012 Denpasar Bali Indonesia The Dokar
(horse and cart) is traditional local transport In the 1960s and 1970s the Dokar was one
of the main transportation modes transporting people and produce around the city Over the years as Bali has transformed into a tourist mecca the Dokar has seen a
massive decline in business to the point of virtual extinction It is estimated that prior to
2002 there were over 200 Dokar working in the Denpasar region Today only a handful
remain with numbers now standing at approximately 17 working in Denpasar

Kusir Nyoman Mantra Manik 55 helps passengers load up
his Dokar at the Badung market October 15 2012 in
Denpasar Bali Indonesia As Denpasar struggles with uncontrolled population
growth it has become the most populated region on the island
with more than 15million people working daily in the city
As a result the chronic traffic congestion makes it difficult for
the Dokar to work effectively The cheap price of motorcycles
has contributed to the Dokar slowly becoming obsolete as
people prefer to use motorcycles to avoid traffic
jams and carry produce (Chris McGrathGetty Images)

A neighbors child plays as Dokar driver Nyoman Yasa 35 cleans his Dokar Oct 14 2012 Denpasar Bali Indonesia The Dokar
(horse and cart) is traditional local transport In the 1960s and 1970s the Dokar was one
of the main transportation modes transporting people and produce around the city Over the years as Bali has transformed into a tourist mecca the Dokar has seen a
massive decline in business to the point of virtual extinction It is estimated that prior to
2002 there were over 200 Dokar working in the Denpasar region Today only a handful
remain with numbers now standing at approximately 17 working in Denpasar

Denpasar Bali Indonesia As Denpasar struggles with uncontrolled population
growth it has become the most populated region on the island
with more than 15million people working daily in the city
As a result the chronic traffic congestion makes it difficult for
the Dokar to work effectively The cheap price of motorcycles
has contributed to the Dokar slowly becoming obsolete as
people prefer to use motorcycles to avoid traffic
jams and carry produce (Chris McGrathGetty Images)

A neighbors child plays as Dokar driver Nyoman Yasa 35 cleans his Dokar Oct 14 2012 Denpasar Bali Indonesia The Dokar
(horse and cart) is traditional local transport In the 1960s and 1970s the Dokar was one
of the main transportation modes transporting people and produce around the city Over the years as Bali has transformed into a tourist mecca the Dokar has seen a
massive decline in business to the point of virtual extinction It is estimated that prior to
2002 there were over 200 Dokar working in the Denpasar region Today only a handful
remain with numbers now standing at approximately 17 working in Denpasar

his Dokar at the Badung market October 15 2012 in
Denpasar Bali Indonesia As Denpasar struggles with uncontrolled population
growth it has become the most populated region on the island
with more than 15million people working daily in the city
As a result the chronic traffic congestion makes it difficult for
the Dokar to work effectively The cheap price of motorcycles
has contributed to the Dokar slowly becoming obsolete as
people prefer to use motorcycles to avoid traffic
jams and carry produce (Chris McGrathGetty Images)
