Central Java Province Conducts Simultaneous Vehicle Safety Checks and Free Health Screening for Bus Drivers Ahead of Eid Holiday Exodus
SEMARANG — Ahead of the Eid 2026 holiday exodus, the Transportation Office (Dishub) of Central Java Province will conduct simultaneous vehicle safety inspections (ramp checks) at 23 Type B terminals across the province. In addition, to enhance travel safety, there is a free health screening programme for bus drivers and crew members who will serve passengers during the holiday period.
“We at the Central Java Provincial Transportation Office are planning, in anticipation of Eid 2026, to conduct simultaneous ramp checks at 23 Type B terminals throughout Central Java, which is scheduled to be carried out on 13 March,” said Arief Djatmiko, Head of the Central Java Transportation Office, on Thursday (12 March 2026).
He added that the ramp check activity aims to ensure the roadworthiness of public transport vehicles that will carry holiday-bound passengers during the Eid transport period. Arief stated that the simultaneous ramp checks at 23 Type B terminals will be conducted in conjunction with the opening of the unified Eid 2026 command posts.
“The unified command posts will operate from 13-29 March 2026. So we hope that with these unified command posts, cross-sectoral coordination, whether with the police or state-owned enterprise sectors and regency/city authorities, can be carried out as effectively as possible,” said Arief.
He explained that the office has also coordinated with transportation authorities at the regency and city level throughout Central Java to anticipate congestion hotspots, including temporary market activities, during the Eid transport period. According to Arief, the Central Java Transportation Office will install ten CCTV cameras at the unified command posts.
Arief stated that the CCTV systems will be connected to traffic monitoring CCTV systems operated by regency and city authorities. Later, holiday-bound passengers will be able to access the CCTV monitoring system.
“So the public who will travel during the holiday exodus can know about the conditions in regency and city areas, whether there is congestion or not. The CCTV will be streaming live,” said Arief.
