The preparation represents the local government\u2019s commitment to\nproviding excellent service to travellers departing Bangka Island\nthrough Tanjungkalian Port, said Bangka Barat Regent Markus in Mentok on\nWednesday.<\/p>\n
As part of the preparations, the regency has coordinated with\nnumerous relevant agencies to ensure cross-sectoral readiness in\nsupporting smooth mudik traffic flow and maintaining public security and\ncomfort during the Lebaran period.<\/p>\n
Comprehensive preparation for the mudik exodus is essential,\ninvolving all parties from security to public services. \u201cWe must ensure\ncomplete readiness through cross-sectoral coordination, covering\nsecurity, transportation, healthcare services and price controls of\nessential goods. Everything must be well-prepared so people can\ncelebrate Eid with safety and comfort,\u201d said the Regent.<\/p>\n
As a strategic hub for population movement, Tanjungkalian Port is the\nprimary focus of mudik preparations. The buffer terminal is crucial for\nproviding rest areas for drivers waiting for ship boarding schedules,\nwhilst preventing vehicles from queuing on main roads that could pose\nsafety hazards.<\/p>\n
When vehicle queues surge, they will be accommodated at the buffer\nterminal on spacious land adjacent to the port, equipped with various\nsupporting facilities for traveller comfort.<\/p>\n
The local government and relevant agencies have prepared multiple\ncontingency scenarios to address potential increases in passengers and\nvehicles. These include establishing integrated service and security\nposts, healthcare services and public facilities for mudik\ntravellers.<\/p>\n
The integrated posts will involve TNI, Polri, ASDP and relevant\nagencies to provide maximum service to the public during the Lebaran\nmudik period. The Health Service has prepared medical personnel,\nambulances and referral hospitals on 24-hour standby, whilst the\nTransportation and Public Works Service ensures readiness of\ntransportation infrastructure including traffic signs, road markings,\nwarning lights and street lighting in good condition.<\/p>\n
The Civil Service Police support security and ensure public facility\navailability at the buffer terminal, the Environmental Service prepares\nsanitation facilities at crowded points, and the Disaster Management\nAgency has mobilised rapid response teams to anticipate potential\ndisruptions from extreme weather.<\/p>\n
ASDP Tanjungkalian Port has prepared numerous ferry vessels for\ncrossings, including large-capacity ships. Travellers are urged to\npurchase tickets online before arriving at the port to avoid vehicle\nqueues and expedite departures.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bangka-barat-regency-prepares-buffer-terminal-to-manage-mudik-exodus-1773237142", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
