Cirebon Pantura and Nagreg Routes Passed by 500,000 Eid Holiday Vehicles

The Cirebon City Transportation Agency (Dishub) in West Java recorded a volume of 577,215 holiday vehicles passing through the local North Coast (Pantura) route during the H-7 to H-1 period for Eid 2026. A similar number occurred in Nagreg, West Bandung Regency, with at least 574,575 vehicles heading to Garut and Tasikmalaya crossing the Nagreg route from H-7 to H-1. The Head of Traffic Division of Cirebon City Dishub, Indra Setiaman, stated that this figure is the result of traffic monitoring up to 11:30 AM on H-1 Eid. He explained that of the total vehicles, the majority were motorcycles at 503,445 units, while private cars numbered 52,643 units. “The number of vehicles passing from H-7 to H-1 Eid is around 577,215 units, based on calculations up to 11:30 AM,” said Indra in Cirebon on Friday (20/3), quoted from Antara. According to him, the current average vehicles passing through the Cirebon Pantura route is around 1,284 units per hour. Indra mentioned that the peak holiday traffic on that route occurred on H-2 Eid, with nearly 149,000 units passing in a day. He said that compared to the same period in the 2025 Eid holidays, the number of vehicles at this year’s peak showed a slight decrease. “Compared to 2025, there is a slight decrease, but compared to the previous day, there was an increase of about 12 percent,” he stated. Traffic engineering on holiday routes His side carried out several traffic engineering measures at several main intersections in Cirebon City to anticipate traffic density during the peak holiday flow. He mentioned one measure implemented was extending the traffic light duration at several intersections passed by holiday vehicles. He explained that the green light duration at those intersections was extended to around 95 seconds, so vehicles from the main route could pass more smoothly. “We extended the green light duration at intersections so that vehicles passing through the holiday route can move faster,” he said. No intersection closures Indra added that during the 2026 Eid holiday season, Cirebon City Dishub did not close intersections along the holiday route in the area. He said the policy was taken because traffic engineering through adjusting light durations was deemed effective enough to ease vehicle density. “With that measure, vehicle flow from Jakarta towards Central Java or vice versa can pass safely without disrupting community activities,” he stated. Nagreg Meanwhile, the Bandung Regency Transportation Agency (Dishub) in West Java confirmed that the peak holiday flow on the Nagreg route has passed after the number of vehicles passing today began to gradually decrease. The Head of Public Relations of Bandung Regency Dishub, Eric Alam Prabowo, said that traffic flow from early this morning was smoother than the previous day with 24,285 vehicles passing. “We can confirm that last night was indeed the peak holiday flow, where after last night the frequency of vehicles passing Nagreg has gradually decreased. Vehicles counted around 24,000 up to 08:00 AM,” he said in Bandung on Friday. He explained that up to 23:59 PM on H-2 Eid, the number of vehicles passing was recorded at 150,716 units or an increase of 5 percent from the previous day which was 137,032 units. He also added that the number of vehicles exceeded the peak holiday flow on H-2 Eid 2025, which was 142,620 vehicles. “This exceeds H-3 this year which was only 137,000 vehicles and exceeds the 2025 peak holiday flow on H-2 Eid with 142,000 vehicles,” he clarified. The Bandung Regency Transportation Agency also stated that the number of vehicles passing the Nagreg route towards Garut and Tasikmalaya during the H-7 to H-1 Eid 2026 period showed an increasing trend up to H-2 before decreasing on H-1. The overall total over seven days of observation recorded 574,575 vehicles heading to Garut and Tasikmalaya crossing the Nagreg route. Although easing, the Transportation Agency along with combined officers remain fully alert to secure this year’s Eid holiday flow by preparing forces at congestion and accident-prone points.
