Free Homecoming 2026: Jasa Raharja Transports 23,500 Travellers to Various Regions
PT Jasa Raharja has officially launched the departure of 23,500 homecoming travellers as part of the 2026 SOE Free Homecoming Programme. The flag-off ceremony, centred at Ring Road Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), Senayan, on Tuesday (17/3), forms part of efforts to curb the number of motorcyclists during the Eid homecoming flow. This year, Jasa Raharja is facilitating thousands of travellers through two main modes of transport: buses and trains.
Jasa Raharja’s President Director, Muhammad Awaluddin, explained that this step represents the company’s tangible concern for ensuring safer and more orderly journeys for the public.
“The Jasa Raharja Free Homecoming Programme is a form of care for the community wishing to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with their families. We want to ensure their journeys are safer, more comfortable, and orderly,” Awaluddin stated in his remarks on Wednesday (18/3).
Of the total participants, Jasa Raharja is deploying 136 bus fleets to carry 5,640 passengers. Notably, inclusive services are available, including special buses for people with disabilities to ensure accessibility for all segments of society.
Meanwhile, for train transport, Jasa Raharja is facilitating 17,500 passengers via 37 train sets departing from Pasar Senen Station on 16–17 March 2026. Not only in Jakarta, Jasa Raharja is also providing buses for 3,599 homecomers in various provinces, from Aceh, South Sumatra, Banten, West Java, Central Java, East Java, to South Sulawesi and Central Sulawesi.
Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), who attended the ceremony, expressed appreciation for the SOE’s initiative. According to him, the programme aligns with President Prabowo Subianto’s directives for the state to always provide the best services to the people.
“The government thanks the SOEs because this will certainly reduce journeys using private vehicles, especially motorcycles,” AHY said.
In agreement, Head of the SOE Supervisory Board Dony Oskaria emphasised that the programme embodies cross-sectoral mutual cooperation.
“We want to ensure the community can homecome safely while helping to reduce traffic density during the Eid period,” Dony explained.
