        "content": "<p>The 2026 BUMN Free Homecoming Programme, participated in by PT Bank\nNegara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BNI, has received a positive reception\nfrom the public. BNI has transported more than 7,000 homecomers in\nstages to various destinations on Java and Sumatra. Of this number,\napproximately 1,500 homecomers were released in a ceremony centred at\nRing Road Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), Jakarta, on Tuesday, 17 March\n2026.<\/p>\n<p>One of the free homecoming participants, Budi Arief, admitted to\nbeing greatly assisted by this programme, particularly in curbing high\ntravel costs during the homecoming season. \u201cIn my view, it is very\nbeneficial, especially for friends who want to go home when public\ntransport fares are very expensive, while this is all free and\nfacilitated by SOEs,\u201d said Budi.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the registration process was relatively easy and\nwell-organised. He stated that participants only needed to register by\nshowing their identity and BNI account, then follow the stages from\nqueuing for tickets to the distribution of homecoming supplies. \u201cThe\nprocess is neat, from registration to the distribution of supplies like\nT-shirts, hats, and food. So we feel well-served,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to providing transportation facilities, participants also\nreceived a homecoming supplies package that supports travel comfort.\nThis is seen as enhancing a more organised and comfortable homecoming\nexperience for the public.<\/p>\n<p>BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo said that BNI\u2019s participation\nin this programme is part of the company\u2019s commitment to providing\nservices to the public while supporting the smooth flow of Eid al-Fitr\nhomecoming. \u201cThrough this programme, BNI hopes that homecomers can\nexperience a safe and comfortable journey and can gather with family in\ntheir hometowns,\u201d said Okki.<\/p>\n<p>He added that BNI\u2019s involvement in the BUMN Free Homecoming programme\nis also expected to help reduce the travel cost burden on the public and\nsupport a more orderly distribution of homecoming traffic.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 BUMN Free Homecoming Programme becomes one of the\ncollaborative initiatives among SOEs to provide safe, comfortable, and\naffordable transportation solutions for the public. In the future,\nsimilar programmes are hoped to continue and provide broader benefits\nfor Indonesian society.<\/p>",
