Jakarta \u2014 Kampung Rambutan Terminal in East Jakarta estimates that\nthe peak exodus flow for Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijri will occur approximately\nfour days before Eid.<\/p>\n
Kampung Rambutan Terminal Head Revi Zulkarnain stated that the\nprediction is based on monitoring of bus ticket bookings at various\ncounters and online platforms.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur monitoring at the ticket counters shows that many online ticket\nbookings are scheduled for 16, 17, and 18 March 2026,\u201d said Revi when\nmet at Kampung Rambutan Terminal on Monday (9 March 2026).<\/p>\n
He explained that during this period, the majority of passengers are\ntravellers heading to distant destinations, both within Java and\nSumatra.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, some travellers have been observed departing earlier,\nparticularly those heading to Sumatra. They choose to travel home sooner\nto avoid traffic congestion and ticket price increases approaching\nEid.<\/p>\n
To anticipate the surge in passengers, the terminal is also preparing\nadditional buses if needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, there will certainly be additional buses. We prioritise regular\nbuses first. If regular buses are insufficient, we will provide backup\nbuses,\u201d said Revi.<\/p>\n
Based on monitoring by Kompas.com on site, several passengers were\nobserved waiting for buses in the terminal\u2019s waiting area whilst\ncarrying large suitcases and boxes.<\/p>\n
The majority of passengers were dominated by travellers heading to\nSumatra.<\/p>\n
One such traveller is Ade (32), a resident from Payakumbuh, West\nSumatra. He admitted choosing to travel home earlier to avoid traffic\ncongestion and obtain tickets at normal prices.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I want to travel home earlier to Payakumbuh because I want to\navoid traffic and the ticket prices haven\u2019t increased yet, since this is\nwell before the peak mudik season,\u201d said Ade when met at Kampung\nRambutan Terminal on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, this is typical. I usually travel from afar because of my\nbusiness. I stay about 10 days during Ramadan at most, or up to 15 days.\nThe ticket prices are still normal at 875,000 Rupiah for a sleeper\nclass,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/peak-mudik-flow-at-kampung-rambutan-terminal-predicted-at-h-4-eid-1773068466", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
