        "content": "<p>Bandung \u2014 The West Java Provincial Government is optimising its\nintegrated Sapawarga application to distribute 3,040 free Eid travel\ntickets for 2026, whilst monitoring traffic flow during the period\nthrough CCTV surveillance.<\/p>\n<p>The Head of the West Java Department of Communication and Informatics\n(Diskominfo), Mas Adi Komar, stated that the application\u2019s use is\nintended to facilitate public access to accurate, safe, and transparent\nhomecoming travel information in one convenient platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are focusing on delivering more accurate information,\nparticularly regarding safe and smooth homecoming routes, as well as the\nfree travel programme integrated with traffic monitoring via CCTV,\u201d said\nAdi in Bandung on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the public wishing to participate in the free travel\nprogramme can register from 11 February to 12 March 2026 by uploading\npersonal data including their national identity number (NIK), family\ncard number (KK), and departure route. Ticket activation is scheduled\nfor 1-12 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The Head of the West Java Department of Transportation, Dhani\nGumelar, added that the department has prepared 74 buses from various\nreputable operators including PO Sugeng Rahayu, Damri, Sinar Jaya,\nPrimajasa, and MGI to serve routes within and outside the province.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2026 Free Travel Programme will depart on 13, 14, and 15 March\n2026 with departure points from Leuwipanjang Terminal (Bandung),\nCikarang Terminal, and Bekasi City,\u201d said Dhani.<\/p>\n<p>He guaranteed that all fleet vehicles have undergone technical\ninspection (ramp check) and bus crews are in good health to ensure\npassenger safety throughout their journeys.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to free travel facilities, West Java\u2019s provincial\ngovernment has also established a Command Centre serving as the\ninformation control hub. This facility utilises the CCTV network along\nhomecoming routes and tourist routes to provide real-time data regarding\ntraffic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Command Centre will prove highly beneficial for the public and\nfield personnel for monitoring and making appropriate decisions\nregarding travel conditions during the 1447 Hijriah homecoming period,\u201d\nsaid Adi Komar.<\/p>\n<p>This digitalisation step, according to Adi, has been taken given the\nWest Java Department of Transportation\u2019s prediction that approximately\n70 per cent of homebound travellers will still use private vehicles,\nparticularly along toll roads in the West Java region.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, integration between the Sapawarga application and CCTV\nmonitoring is expected to serve as a solution for homebound travellers\nto avoid congestion points and landslide-prone areas that have been\ncoordinated with relevant departments.<\/p>",
