        "summary": "The Bandung City Transportation Department's free homecoming program has proven highly popular, with tickets for most routes already fully booked just two days after registration opened. Only the Bandung-Kuningan and Cirebon routes still have limited availability. The program offers free bus transportation for 250 people, with departures scheduled for March 17th.",
        "content": "<p>Although registration for the free homecoming program organised by\nthe Bandung City Transportation Department has only been open for two\ndays, due to high demand, the available quota for the free homecoming\nprogram now only has the Bandung-Kuningan and Cirebon routes\nremaining.<\/p>\n<p>Registration for the free homecoming program has been open from 24th\nFebruary 2026 to 6th March 2026 at the Asia Afrika JPO every\nMonday-Friday from 08:00-15:00. On Saturdays, it is open from\n08:30-15:00. This year\u2019s free homecoming routes are Bandung-Surabaya via\nthe North, Bandung-Yogyakarta via the North, Bandung-Yogyakarta via the\nSouth, and within the province, Bandung-Kuningan-Cirebon and\nBandung-Tasikmalaya-Banjar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday, on the first day, there were already a lot of\nregistrants. Of the 250 tickets, there are only 23 left. The remaining\nquota is only for the Bandung-Kuningan-Cirebon route, while the other\nroutes have been fully booked since the first day of registration,\u201d said\nBandung City Transportation Department officer, Gunawan Hadi, on\nWednesday (25\/2).<\/p>\n<p>According to Gunawan, even though the registration schedule is still\nsome time away, they ensure that there will be no additional quota.\nThus, the registration schedule will be in accordance with the quota\nthat has been set, namely 250. \u201cCurrently, there are 23 quotas left, and\nwe will open registration from 8 am to 3 pm. The most popular routes are\nto cities outside Bandung, namely Surabaya and Yogyakarta,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the Head of the Bandung City Transportation Department,\nRasdian Setiadi, said that for the free homecoming program, they had\nprepared 5 buses with a quota of 250 people, so each bus would carry 50\npeople. The buses are scheduled to depart from City Hall on 17th\nMarch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe requirement to participate in the free homecoming program is\nsimply an electronic ID card or a certificate of residence in Bandung\nCity. If there are still quotas available, all residents will be served\nand will be able to get a seat. Registration is only open offline at the\nAsia Afrika JPO. It will probably be fully booked in just 2-3 days. I\nwill then report to the Mayor for the departure,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The limited quota of free homecoming tickets prepared by the Bandung\nCity Transportation Department has left those who registered\ndisappointed and returning home empty-handed. \u201cI wanted to go home to\nYogyakarta, but when I wanted to register, the tickets were already\ngone,\u201d said Surip with a disappointed expression.<\/p>\n<p>According to Surip, as of 11:00, there were only 23 quotas left for\nthe Bandung-Kuningan-Cirebon route, while the quotas for other\ndestinations, including Yogyakarta, were confirmed to be fully booked.\n\u201cLast year, I participated in the free homecoming program. My family and\nI took advantage of the free homecoming program because, besides being\nmore economical, the journey is also safer than using a private\nvehicle,\u201d he said. (H-2)<\/p>",
