        "summary": "Indonesia's Minister of Public Works, Dody Hanggodo, has assessed that the 2026 Eid al-Fitr homecoming and return travels have been relatively smoother than the previous year, thanks to effective government policies such as Work From Anywhere and toll discounts that dispersed travel times. Projections for returning vehicles dropped from 285,000 to 250,000, with public transport departures rising by 11.11%, indicating better traffic management and infrastructure readiness. The government continues monitoring and evaluating to ensure ongoing smoothness and plans further improvements for future periods.",
        "content": "<p>Minister of Public Works Dody Hanggodo has evaluated that the\nimplementation of the 2026 Eid al-Fitr homecoming and return flows has\ngenerally proceeded relatively more smoothly compared to the previous\nyear, with ongoing monitoring and evaluation until the return flow\nperiod ends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year\u2019s Eid, in my opinion, is better than last year, but we are\nstill continuing to monitor until the return flow is complete.\nHopefully, it remains smooth like the homecoming flow yesterday,\u201d said\nDody in Jakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the smoothness of the homecoming and return flows is\ninseparable from the synergy of various parties, including\ninfrastructure readiness, traffic management, and government policy\nsupport such as Work From Anywhere (WFA), which helps distribute the\npublic\u2019s travel times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe remain on alert to monitor. Hopefully, the weather supports it,\nand the public who went homecoming are willing to follow the\ngovernment\u2019s appeals not to return to Jakarta all at once, so that\nvehicles on toll roads and non-toll roads are not too crowded,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Dody conveyed that the policy was able to reduce the projection of\nthe number of vehicles returning at the peak of the return flow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we look at the return flow, we initially predicted 285,000\nbecoming 250,000, and there was also a decrease in the crossing flow, so\nI see there is effectiveness,\u201d said Dody.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Transportation recorded that public transport\nmovements during the Eid period from H-8 to H+3 increased by 4.07%, with\nthe number of passenger departures rising by 11.11% compared to the same\nperiod last year.<\/p>\n<p>Not only WFA, he also assessed that the toll fee discount policy\ncould potentially impact the distribution of vehicle flows so as not to\nconcentrate at certain times.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, he continued, the government urges the public to take advantage\nof the policy to avoid congestion at the peak return flow, estimated to\noccur on 28\u201329 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Dody assured that the government continues to evaluate the\norganisation of Eid transportation to improve service quality in future\nperiods.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that the government is not complacent even though this\nyear\u2019s homecoming and return implementation has relatively gone\nwell.<\/p>",
