        "summary": "Major roads in Jakarta, including Sudirman, Thamrin, and Rasuna Said, which are typically bustling with traffic, appeared eerily deserted during Eid al-Fitr 1447 H on 21 March 2026. This unusual emptiness is attributed to a 2.82% increase in outbound vehicles for the homecoming exodus compared to the previous year, with a total of 1,740,968 vehicles leaving the capital between 11 and 20 March 2026. The phenomenon highlights the significant impact of the annual mudik tradition on urban mobility and underscores the cultural and logistical significance of the holiday period in Indonesia.",

The Pinisi pedestrian overpass on Jenderal\nSudirman Road, which is usually busy with visitors on weekends, also\nlooked deserted.
