Cabinet Secretary and Transport Minister inspect peak return flow at Pulo Gebang Terminal
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya, together with Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi, directly inspected the peak Lebaran 2026 return flow at the Pulo Gebang Integrated Terminal, Cakung, East Jakarta, in the early hours of Wednesday.
As posted on the Cabinet Secretariat’s Instagram account on Wednesday, this was done to ensure that public movement proceeds safely, smoothly, and comfortably.
The inspection took place on Wednesday around 01:00 to 02:00 WIB, by directly visiting mudik returnees inside buses to gauge the condition of their journeys during the return flow.
From the monitoring results, the returnees stated that the journeys they undertook were smooth and comfortable.
“Last night at 01:00 WIB, I was invited by Mr Transport Minister to check the peak return flow at Pulo Gebang Terminal. Alhamdulillah, after asking directly to the returnees on the buses, they said the journey was smooth and comfortable. Also, a bit of greeting, handshaking, photo-taking to make the returnees happy,” said Cabinet Secretary Teddy.
The Cabinet Secretary stated that the government is striving to ensure that this year’s mudik and return flow operations run better than the previous year, which had gone well.
These efforts, he said, are supported by synergy between the Ministry of Transport, Police, local governments, and related agencies in managing the high mobility of the public.
To anticipate the potential second wave of return flow on 28 to 29 March, the government has prepared several measures, such as implementing traffic engineering in the form of situational one-way systems, regulating rest areas, and restricting goods transport vehicles.
In addition, supporting policies have been prepared in the form of toll fare discounts and the provision of thousands of free mudik buses for the public.
With thorough planning and quick responses on the ground, the government is committed to ensuring the return flow runs smoothly until the public arrives at their destinations safely and comfortably.
