PT Jasa Marga (Persero) President Director Rivan A Purwantono\nreported that vehicle movement leaving Jakarta on the first day of the\n2026 Ketupat Operation reached only approximately 14 percent of the\ntotal projected Eid holiday exodus. From an estimated 3.5 million\nvehicles, approximately 285,000 vehicles had moved throughout Friday (13\nMarch 2026).<\/p>\n
The company president monitored traffic flow developments at the Jasa\nMarga Traffic Management Centre (JMTC) in Jatiasih, Bekasi, on Saturday\n(14 March 2026), together with Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi and\nNational Police Traffic Corps Chief Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho.\nMonitoring showed that vehicle flow leaving Jakarta remained manageable\nwithout traffic engineering implementation.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo on this one day, as the Transport Minister stated, there is\nindeed a 3.5 percent growth. From Jasa Marga\u2019s projections regarding the\nnumber of vehicles that have currently left Jakarta, it stands at 14\npercent,\u201d said Rivan.<\/p>\n
He detailed that this figure was equivalent to approximately 285,000\nvehicles from the total projection of vehicles that would move during\nthis year\u2019s Eid holiday exodus period. In the early stages, holiday\ntravellers\u2019 journeys remained dominated by vehicles heading towards the\nTrans Java Toll Route.<\/p>\n
Rivan explained that flows towards Bandung or towards Sumatra via\nMerak Port had not shown significant increases on the first monitoring\nday. Vehicle movement still had potential to increase over the coming\ndays as the peak exodus period approached.<\/p>\n
Increased public mobility typically becomes apparent over the\nweekend. \u201cThe other directions are not yet apparent, such as towards\nBandung, and the projected numbers are not yet visible. However, this is\nstill the first day. There is still the possibility that on Saturday and\nSunday there will be additional movement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi directly monitored the traffic\nsituation from Jasa Marga\u2019s control centre. He assessed that vehicle\nflow conditions on the first day of the Ketupat Operation remained\nrelatively smooth despite increased vehicle volume. \u201cThis evening I,\ntogether with the Traffic Corps Chief and PT Jasa Marga\u2019s President\nDirector, observed the situation on the first day since the Ketupat\nOperation and also the Eid Transport Command Post were implemented. So\nfar it is slightly above normal, but relatively continues to run\nsmoothly,\u201d said Dudy.<\/p>\n
National Police Traffic Corps Chief Inspector General Agus\nSuryonugroho stated that his team continued to monitor vehicle flow\ndevelopments both on toll roads and arterial roads. Monitoring was\nconducted through CCTV systems and coordination with various\nstakeholders in the Ketupat Operation.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom today\u2019s monitoring results, traffic flow remains sufficiently\ncontrolled. There is indeed an increase, but not yet significant,\u201d said\nAgus.<\/p>\n
He added that the police were also monitoring public safety and order\naspects during the Eid holiday security period. Thus far, the situation\nwas assessed as remaining safe with no notable incidents.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Ketupat Operation involved hundreds of thousands of\nNational Police personnel together with various related agencies\nthroughout Indonesia. Security covered toll routes, arterial roads,\nplaces of worship, tourist areas, ports, and airports.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/3-5-million-vehicle-exodus-projected-only-14-percent-have-left-jakarta-1773456979", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
