BRI Dispatches 2,750 Mudik Passengers from Jakarta with 55 Bus Fleet
BRI Jakarta II Regional Office dispatched 2,750 homebound passengers through the Safe Mudik, Sharing Hope programme resulting from collaboration with the State-Owned Enterprise Coordinating Board on Tuesday, 17 March. Within this programme, BRI mobilised 55 bus units departing from 17 locations across the Jakarta region. Twenty-six buses carrying 1,300 passengers were dispatched from the main departure point at the BRI Pension Tower, Jakarta.
Regional Micro Banking Head of BRI Jakarta II Kanwil, Susanto, stated that the fleet size was increased to accommodate high public demand.
“Initially we prepared 40 buses for 2,000 passengers, but since registrations reached 2,750 people, we increased the fleet to 55 units,” he said.
He noted that homebound destinations included several cities across Java Island, such as Yogyakarta, Wonogiri, and Surabaya.
Free mudik programme participants expressed gratitude for the initiative. One participant, Endang (60), a Bekasi resident heading to Kebumen, stated that the programme made it easier for her to return home safely.
Similar sentiments were expressed by Nahrowi (50), a trader from Tebet bringing his family on a mudik journey to Yogyakarta. He noted that this was his first time participating in the programme and found the facilities provided quite satisfactory.
Another participant, Tarno (57), a farmer from North Bekasi, viewed the free mudik programme as a comfortable transportation solution for migrant workers.
BRI ensured that safety aspects were prioritised in implementing this free mudik State-Owned Enterprise programme. All bus units underwent roadworthiness testing and drivers were confirmed to be in good health. Additionally, coordination with various parties was conducted to guarantee journey safety until final destination.
“This programme not only provides free transportation, but also ensures safety standards are met,” Susanto said.
Nationally, BRI prepared 100 bus units for 5,000 passengers, with the largest contribution coming from the Jakarta II region.
Beyond the mudik programme, BRI also distributed social assistance through its BRI Care programme. In the Jakarta II region, assistance in the form of food packages was provided to media professionals as company partners. Nationally, BRI distributed approximately 279,000 food packages and provided assistance to 8,500 orphaned children across various regions.
