This was stated by Jasa Marga\u2019s President\nDirector, Rivan A. Purwantono. The figure is a cumulative traffic flow\nfrom four main toll gates: GT Cikampek Utama (towards Trans Java), GT\nKalihurip Utama (towards Bandung), GT Cikupa (towards Merak), and GT\nCiawi (towards Puncak). In his statement in Jakarta on Tuesday, Rivan\nexplained that this number equates to 50.16% of the total projection of\n3.39 million vehicles expected to return to Jabotabek during the period\nof 11-31 March 2026. The return traffic to Jabotabek is dominated by\nflows from the east (Trans Java and Bandung), totalling 696,748 vehicles\nor 40.9%. Meanwhile, from the west (Merak), 568,159 vehicles or 33.4%\nwere recorded, and from the south (Puncak), 437,593 vehicles or 25.7%.\nFor detailed movements, vehicles from the Trans Java direction passing\nthrough GT Cikampek Utama totalled 309,156 vehicles, or 15.2% lower than\nnormal traffic. Meanwhile, from the Bandung direction through GT\nKalihurip Utama, 387,592 vehicles were recorded, down 7.1% from normal\nconditions. Overall, the flow from the east reached 696,748 vehicles,\n10.9% lower than normal traffic. From the west, vehicles returning to\nJabotabek through GT Cikupa totalled 568,159 vehicles, down 4.9%\ncompared to normal conditions. From the south through GT Ciawi, 437,593\nvehicles were recorded, 5.6% lower than normal traffic. Furthermore,\nRivan explained that the volume of return traffic began to show an\nincrease since H+2 of Eid 2026. \u201cVehicle traffic flow is expected to\ncontinue increasing, especially during the peak return period on 24, 28,\nand 29 March 2026,\u201d he said, as quoted from Antara. Meanwhile, on H+2\nEid or Monday, 23 March 2026, the number of vehicles returning to\nJabotabek through the four main toll gates totalled 225,293 vehicles.\nThis figure is up 73.7% compared to normal traffic of 129,695 vehicles.\nA significant increase was recorded at GT Cikampek Utama, with volume\nreaching 75,837 vehicles or an increase of 197.7% compared to normal\ntraffic. Jasa Marga has also strengthened services on several main toll\nsections by optimising gate operations, preparing toll road service\nfleets, and implementing situational traffic arrangements according to\npolice discretion. In addition, the company has prepared functional\nlanes to support traffic distribution and ensured 24-hour readiness of\npersonnel. Jasa Marga urges road users to prepare their journeys\nthoroughly during this return period, including ensuring vehicles and\ndrivers are in prime condition before travelling and complying with\ntraffic rules and instructions from on-site officers. \u201cTo obtain traffic\ninformation and assist with journey planning, the public can use the\nTravoy application and contact Jasa Marga\u2019s Call Center at 133,\u201d said\nRivan. For road users with time flexibility, Jasa Marga suggests\nshifting return schedules to Jabotabek during the Work From Anywhere\n(WFA) policy period on 25-27 March 2026 to avoid peak density. Users can\nalso take advantage of a 30% toll discount on 26-27 March 2026 on nine\nJasa Marga Group toll roads with a continuous journey scheme. Rivan\nhopes this policy will help distribute traffic more evenly while curbing\npotential congestion. \u201cThrough thorough journey planning by road users\nand strengthened collaboration with relevant stakeholders, it is hoped\nthat travel during this return period will proceed safely, comfortably,\nsmoothly, and securely,\u201d he stated.<\/p>",
