DAMRI has recorded increasing booking trends for Eid 1447 H\/2026\nhomecoming tickets in recent days. Based on ticket booking data as of\nTuesday 10 March at 15:00 WIB, several departure dates approaching the\npeak homecoming period are showing rising seat occupancy rates for the\nIntercity and Inter-Provincial Transport Service (DAMRI).<\/p>\n
Several departure dates with relatively low seat occupancy include 30\nMarch\u20131 April 2026 and 21\u201322 March 2026, each remaining below 30%\ncapacity. This situation provides an opportunity for citizens to plan\ntheir homecoming and return journeys with greater flexibility.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, ticket bookings are showing increased demand approaching\nthe peak homecoming period. The highest occupancy rates have been\nrecorded on 17 and 18 March 2026, with seat occupancy reaching\napproximately 57%.<\/p>\n
Overall, DAMRI is providing more than 220,000 seats during the Eid\ntransport period, allowing citizens to retain the opportunity to select\nmore flexible travel schedules.<\/p>\n
P. Septian Adri S., Head of Corporate Communication at DAMRI, stated\nthat the wide availability of seats offers an alternative for citizens\nto choose more comfortable travel times.<\/p>\n
\u201cDAMRI invites citizens to take advantage of departure dates with\nlower seat occupancy rates so that homecoming journeys can be planned\nwith greater flexibility and comfort,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that the flexibility of homecoming travel times this year is\nalso supported by government policy regarding Work From Anywhere (WFA)\nand collective leave arrangements for Eid al-Fitr 2026, which provide\ncitizens with the opportunity to adjust their travel times either\nearlier or after the peak homecoming period.<\/p>\n
Based on these policies, the WFA scheme before Eid is applied on\n16\u201317 March 2026, whilst WFA after Eid runs on 25\u201327 March 2026. This\npolicy allows citizens to continue working from other locations without\nbeing required to be at the office.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the WFA policy and collective Eid leave, citizens can plan\ntheir homecoming journeys more strategically. For example, earlier\ntravel can be undertaken during 11\u201315 March 2026 before the peak\nhomecoming period, whilst still taking advantage of WFA on 16\u201317 March.\nMeanwhile, the return journey can also be undertaken after the peak\nperiod by selecting dates from 30 March until early April, which\ncurrently still has relatively low seat occupancy rates,\u201d Septian\nexplained.<\/p>\n
This more flexible travel planning is expected to help citizens avoid\ncongestion during the peak period whilst providing more journey schedule\noptions.<\/p>\n
During the 2026 Eid transport period, DAMRI is preparing 1,800 buses\nwith a target of serving up to 2.7 million passengers nationwide.<\/p>\n
DAMRI urges citizens to plan their journeys well in advance and make\nticket bookings online through the DAMRI Apps or website damri.co.id to\nmake the ticket purchase process easier, safer, and more convenient.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/damri-homecoming-ticket-occupancy-reaches-57-these-seats-remain-available-1773150773", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
