DAMRI Homecoming Ticket Occupancy Reaches 57%; These Seats Remain Available
DAMRI has recorded increasing booking trends for Eid 1447 H/2026 homecoming tickets in recent days. Based on ticket booking data as of Tuesday 10 March at 15:00 WIB, several departure dates approaching the peak homecoming period are showing rising seat occupancy rates for the Intercity and Inter-Provincial Transport Service (DAMRI).
Several departure dates with relatively low seat occupancy include 30 March–1 April 2026 and 21–22 March 2026, each remaining below 30% capacity. This situation provides an opportunity for citizens to plan their homecoming and return journeys with greater flexibility.
Meanwhile, ticket bookings are showing increased demand approaching the peak homecoming period. The highest occupancy rates have been recorded on 17 and 18 March 2026, with seat occupancy reaching approximately 57%.
Overall, DAMRI is providing more than 220,000 seats during the Eid transport period, allowing citizens to retain the opportunity to select more flexible travel schedules.
P. Septian Adri S., Head of Corporate Communication at DAMRI, stated that the wide availability of seats offers an alternative for citizens to choose more comfortable travel times.
“DAMRI invites citizens to take advantage of departure dates with lower seat occupancy rates so that homecoming journeys can be planned with greater flexibility and comfort,” he said.
He added that the flexibility of homecoming travel times this year is also supported by government policy regarding Work From Anywhere (WFA) and collective leave arrangements for Eid al-Fitr 2026, which provide citizens with the opportunity to adjust their travel times either earlier or after the peak homecoming period.
Based on these policies, the WFA scheme before Eid is applied on 16–17 March 2026, whilst WFA after Eid runs on 25–27 March 2026. This policy allows citizens to continue working from other locations without being required to be at the office.
“With the WFA policy and collective Eid leave, citizens can plan their homecoming journeys more strategically. For example, earlier travel can be undertaken during 11–15 March 2026 before the peak homecoming period, whilst still taking advantage of WFA on 16–17 March. Meanwhile, the return journey can also be undertaken after the peak period by selecting dates from 30 March until early April, which currently still has relatively low seat occupancy rates,” Septian explained.
This more flexible travel planning is expected to help citizens avoid congestion during the peak period whilst providing more journey schedule options.
During the 2026 Eid transport period, DAMRI is preparing 1,800 buses with a target of serving up to 2.7 million passengers nationwide.
DAMRI urges citizens to plan their journeys well in advance and make ticket bookings online through the DAMRI Apps or website damri.co.id to make the ticket purchase process easier, safer, and more convenient.
