Hundreds of Mudik Participants Depart from Tanjung Priok Port
A row of tour buses was neatly lined up at the Buffer Area of Tanjung Priok Port in North Jakarta on Monday morning (16 March). Mudik participants began arriving from dawn, carrying luggage and hopes of reuniting with their families in their hometowns.
This enthusiastic atmosphere formed part of the 2026 Pelindo Group Free Mudik Programme, which carried the theme “Safe Mudik, Sharing Hope” and was part of the broader Mudik Together BUMN programme. In this initiative, PT Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) participated by providing five buses to transport hundreds of mudik participants to Surabaya, Solo, and Madiun.
JICT Chief Executive Ade Hartono stated that JICT’s participation in this programme represented the company’s commitment to providing direct benefits to the community. “Mudik is an important tradition for Indonesian society. Through this programme, we hope that participants can undertake their journey safely and comfortably so they can reunite with their families in their hometowns,” said Ade at the launch ceremony in North Jakarta on Monday (16 March 2026).
According to Ade, the 2026 Pelindo Group Free Mudik Programme was being implemented simultaneously across various cities in Indonesia and provided thousands of seats for mudik participants through land, sea, and railway transportation modes. “This activity also demonstrates JICT’s commitment as part of Pelindo Group in supporting safe public mobility during the Eid mudik period,” he added.
One mudik participant, Ahmad, 35, expressed that he was greatly assisted by this programme. “Usually I travel home by motorcycle because bus fares are expensive when bringing my family. With this programme, I can travel home with my wife and children,” he said.
West Java Province contributed the largest number of mudik participants during the 2026 Eid mudik season, according to West Java Deputy Governor Erwan Setiawan when sending off participants of the free mudik programme.
IDSurvey, together with three of its business entities—PT Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia, PT Sucofindo, and PT Surveyor Indonesia—participated year after year in the Mudik Together BUMN Programme.
The Indonesian Navy collaborated with Baznas to organise free mudik transport aboard naval vessels, aimed at minimising congestion and traffic accidents during the Eid mudik period.
Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung formally sent off the free mudik programme organised by the Jakarta Provincial Government for the 2026 Eid celebration.
This activity represented a form of corporate social responsibility carried out regularly every year.
