REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA \u2013 The National Police Chief, General Police\nListyo Sigit Prabowo, confirmed that the peak of the Eid al-Fitr 1447\nHijriah\/2026 AD return traffic has been passed. He stated this after\ndirectly inspecting the return traffic conditions at Bakauheni Port,\nSouth Lampung, on Saturday, together with the Minister of\nTransportation, Dudy Purwagandhi.<\/p>\n
\u201cOverall, we see that the peak return traffic has been passed, and\nthere are still 13.07 percent left that we must face,\u201d said Sigit.<\/p>\n
Based on data from PT Jasa Marga (Persero), the number of vehicles\nexiting Jakarta during the Eid exodus period was recorded at 2,946,891\nunits, an increase of 20.49 percent compared to normal conditions and up\n1.82 percent from Eid 2025.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, vehicles that have returned to Jakarta up to Saturday\nmorning were recorded at 2,561,629 units, leaving about 385,262 vehicles\nor 13.07 percent yet to return.<\/p>\n
In addition to private vehicles, passenger movements via various\nmodes of transportation also experienced a significant increase compared\nto last year. Train passengers were recorded at 3,407,676 people, up\n7.84 percent; air transport around 4.123 million passengers, up 6.27\npercent; sea transport 4,751,186 passengers, up 13.89 percent; and land\ntransport reaching 3,131,582 passengers, up 13.3 percent.<\/p>\n
The most notable achievement in managing this year\u2019s Eid exodus and\nreturn traffic is the reduction in traffic accident incidents and\nfatalities. Sigit mentioned that traffic accident incidents fell 7.8\npercent compared to last year, while the number of deaths decreased by\n112 people, from 377 souls in 2025 to 265 in 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo traffic accident incidents are now down 7.8 percent compared to\nlast year, while for fatalities, namely those who died, it decreased by\n112 people from 377 to 265,\u201d said Listyo.<\/p>\n
The Police Chief assessed that this achievement is inseparable from\nthe synergy of apparatus, transport operators, and public compliance\nduring the Eid transportation period. Specifically at Bakauheni Port,\nthe return traffic conditions were said to remain in the green category\nthanks to the implementation of various effective traffic engineering\nschemes, including the delaying system, buffer zone, and ticket checking\narrangements.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the engineering patterns that have been prepared, starting from\nthe delaying system, buffer zone, to arrangements related to ticket\nchecking, alhamdulillah, everything can be maintained so that the\nsituation remains in a normal or green situation,\u201d said Sigit.<\/p>\n
He also mentioned that one of the service dimensions developed by the\npolice this year is child-friendly services, as part of improving the\noverall quality of exodus services.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/peak-of-eid-al-fitr-2026-return-traffic-passed-accidents-down-7-8-percent-1774702275", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
