        "summary": "Indonesia's Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi has praised the work from anywhere (WFA) policy implemented during the 2026 Lebaran travel period for successfully reducing traffic density by shifting 450,000 vehicles during the outbound rush and 328,000 during the return, leading to a 17.94% and 10.57% decrease in peak congestion respectively. Additional measures, such as restrictions on goods transport, further alleviated road pressure, with enforcement actions against non-compliant companies and stable toll road speeds above 80 km\/h. The total movement reached 298.6 million trips involving 147.55 million travellers, exceeding projections and highlighting the policy's role in managing one of the world's largest annual migrations.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi stated that\nthe work from anywhere (WFA) policy implemented during the outbound and\nreturn flows of the 1447 Hijriah\/2026 CE Lebaran Transport period was\neffective in alleviating traffic congestion. \u201cThe WFA policy during the\noutbound flow proved effective in shifting a volume of 450,000 vehicles\nfrom H-3 to H-1 before Lebaran,\u201d Dudy said in a statement in Jakarta on\nTuesday. This vehicle shift was more evenly distributed from H-8 to H-4,\nhelping to reduce the traffic surge at the peak of the outbound flow. As\na result, according to him, traffic density at the peak of the outbound\nflow was reduced by up to 17.94% compared to conditions without the\npolicy. During the return flow period, a similar policy managed to shift\naround 328,000 vehicles from H to H+3 to the H+4 to H+8 Lebaran period.\nHe explained that this more even distribution of the return flow also\nlowered the density level at the peak of the return flow by 10.57%\noverall. In addition, the Transport Minister stated that the goods\ntransport restriction policy also made a significant contribution by\nreducing the volume of three-axle vehicles by up to 74.56% during the\nLebaran period. The Ministry of Transport also took action against\noperational violations by issuing administrative sanctions to 75 goods\ntransport companies that did not comply with the regulations. From the\ntoll road performance side, the average speed on the Trans-Java Toll\nRoad sections such as Jakarta-Semarang and vice versa was above 80\nkilometres per hour. This condition indicates a category A service level\nwith relatively stable travel times of around 5 hours 20 minutes during\nthe outbound and return flow periods. Dudy revealed that based on a\nsurvey conducted by the Ministry of Transport, public movement was\nprojected to reach 143.92 million people, but the realisation reached\n147.55 million people, an increase of 2.53%. Overall, the Transport\nMinister continued, the total movement during the 2026 Lebaran Transport\nperiod reached 298.6 million movements with 147.55 million travellers.\nThe peak outbound flow was recorded on H-3 or Wednesday, 18 March 2026,\nwhile the peak return flow occurred on H+7 or Saturday, 28 March 2026.\nPublic movement was dominated from Java Island, particularly West Java,\nfollowed by East Java and Central Java as the main origins and\ndestinations of travel. Previously, the government implemented the 2026\nLebaran and Nyepi WFA policy, namely on 16-17 March 2026 and 25-27 March\n2026 (after Lebaran).<\/p>",
