This figure is lower than the initial\nprediction, which estimated vehicle volume up to 285,000 units. PT Jasa\nMarga\u2019s President Director, Rivan A. Purwantono, stated that this\nachievement demonstrates that traffic engineering during the return flow\nperiod was effective in maintaining smooth travel. \u201cThis means the\ntraffic management controls implemented could provide comfort for the\npublic to return to their cities and respective areas properly,\u201d Rivan\nsaid when met at the Jasa Marga Toll Road Command Centre on Wednesday\n(25\/3\/2026). Rivan also urged the public to take advantage of the toll\nfee discount policy applicable on 26\u201327 March 2026 to avoid density\nduring the continued return flow peak. \u201cSo that density is no longer\nnecessary on 28 and 29 March,\u201d Rivan said. Furthermore, he emphasised\nthe importance of travel planning by utilising the information and\npredictions provided by relevant parties. \u201cSo that the public can\ndetermine the right time to depart and return safely,\u201d he stated. \u201cFrom\nH-8 to H+3, there was an increase of 4.07 percent,\u201d said Dudy. In\naddition, the movement of public transport passenger departures during\nthe same period also increased by 11.11 percent. \u201cThe movement of\npassenger departures is 11.11 percent. This figure is still dynamic\nbecause we are calculating up to 29 March,\u201d he said. The Ministry of\nTransportation predicts that the peak return flow will still occur on\n28\u201329 March 2026.<\/p>",
