        "summary": "Gilimanuk Port in Bali is experiencing severe congestion during the pre-Eid holiday rush, with queues stretching approximately 20 kilometres and travellers facing waits of 17 to 20 hours. From 11 to 16 March 2026, 309,135 passengers crossed to Ketapang Port in East Java, representing a slight increase of 0.7% compared to the same period last year, whilst vehicle numbers rose 2.8% to 97,787 units. The surge in bus usage, which increased by nearly 25%, indicates many travellers are switching to mass public transport for their journey home.",
        "content": "<p>The exodus of homebound travellers at Gilimanuk Port, Jembrana, Bali,\nintensified on Tuesday, 17 March 2026. The queue stretching towards\nGilimanuk Port reached approximately 20 kilometres, extending to the\nTuwed area from the port. Many homebound travellers became trapped in\nqueues lasting between 17 and 20 hours.<\/p>\n<p>According to official data from Gilimanuk Command Post from 10 days\nbefore Eid through to 5 days before Eid (11 to 16 March), a total of\n309,135 passengers crossed to Ketapang Port, Banyuwangi, East Java. This\nfigure showed a slight increase of 0.7% compared to the same period last\nyear, which recorded 306,839 people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor total vehicles that have crossed (from 10 days before through to\n5 days before), 97,787 units were recorded, an increase of 2.8% compared\nto the same period last year\u2019s realisation of 95,080 units,\u201d said\nBintang Felfian, Public Relations Manager of ASDP Ketapang Branch, when\ncontacted by detikBali on Tuesday, 17 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically during the period 5 days before Eid (16 March 2026),\n76,495 people left the Island of Gods within 24 hours. Whilst the flow\nof private vehicles showed a fluctuating trend, bus transport actually\ndemonstrated significant growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe realisation of motorcycles on 5 days before Eid reached 14,398\nunits. Meanwhile, private cars reached 6,350 units. For the number of\ntrips at Gilimanuk Port on 5 days before Eid, 251 trips were recorded,\u201d\nBintang explained.<\/p>\n<p>The increase in bus numbers, which reached nearly 25%, indicates that\nmany homebound travellers are switching to mass public transport to\nreturn to their hometowns.<\/p>\n<p>Not only the outbound flow, but movement from the opposite direction,\nfrom Java to Bali via Ketapang Port, was also monitored dynamically. On\n5 days before Eid alone, 21,200 people entered Bali, a figure that\nincreased 6% compared to last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn total from 10 days before through to 5 days before Eid, the\nnumber of vehicles entering Bali from Ketapang reached 29,580 units, up\n4% from last year\u2019s realisation of 28,446 units,\u201d added Bintang.<\/p>\n<p>Congestion on the Denpasar-Gilimanuk route is predicted to persist\nuntil the peak of the upcoming homebound rush. Motorists are urged to\nremain vigilant and ensure their physical condition and vehicles are in\ngood working order.<\/p>",
