        "summary": "Bus ticket prices at Jakarta's Kampung Rambutan Terminal have increased by 20 to 50 per cent for non-economy services since seven days before Eid al-Fitr 2026, driven by surging passenger demand during the holiday rush. While economy class fares remain regulated, non-economy options like AC, executive, and sleeper buses are subject to market mechanisms but must adhere to price caps and announce changes transparently. The terminal is deploying 125-150 buses on departure day with additional units ready to handle overflows, targeting popular destinations across Java and Sumatra to facilitate smoother mudik travel.",
