ITDC Supports Social Connectivity Through Safe and Sustainable Free BUMN Mudik 2026
InJourney Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) is supporting the Free BUMN Mudik 2026 programme, which is being organised once again by the State-Owned Enterprise Regulatory Board together with BPI Danantara.
The programme, themed “Safe Mudik, Shared Hope”, represents a commitment by state-owned enterprises to provide safe, comfortable, and inclusive homecoming travel for Indonesian communities. The flag-off of buses took place on Tuesday, 17 March 2026 at the Ring Road Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), Senayan, Jakarta.
As part of BUMN synergy, ITDC has facilitated bus departures with routes from Jakarta to Semarang, Solo, and Yogyakarta, demonstrating its support for inclusive travel access for people wishing to return home during the Eid al-Fitr 1447H celebrations.
This support forms part of ITDC’s contribution to strengthening social connectivity, by providing access to safe and dignified mudik travel for communities requiring transport assistance.
To ensure safe, comfortable, and responsible travel, all mudik participants receive travel insurance protection and utilise bus fleets that meet established transport safety standards. The journey is supported by experienced drivers and the application of occupational health and safety standards throughout the journey.
This effort reflects ITDC’s commitment to ensuring safety, security, and passenger welfare as a primary priority in every programme it operates, whilst contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3: Good Health and Well-Being, and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, particularly in providing safer and more inclusive mobility for communities.
Furthermore, as a gesture of attention to mudik traveller comfort and health, ITDC also provides goodie bag packages as travel provisions. These packages contain various light necessities such as drinking water, light snacks, vitamins, motion sickness medication, and hygiene supplies. The provision of these packages is expected to help travellers maintain their health, stamina, and comfort during the journey, whilst reflecting ITDC’s commitment to delivering programmes that are not only socially beneficial but also attentive to participant well-being and safety.
The Free BUMN Mudik 2026 involves nearly all state-owned enterprises and subsidiaries with various transport modes, and will be used by more than 100,000 mudik travellers heading to various districts and cities across Indonesia. The programme is part of efforts to support smooth mudik operations whilst ensuring that communities can travel with guaranteed safety standards.
In total, the programme provides transport facilities through various modes, namely land transport, railways, and ships. More than 64,000 mudik travellers will be transported using approximately 1,400 buses. Nearly 33,000 mudik travellers will use 99 train sets, and more than 5,000 mudik travellers will be transported through 42 ships.
Tedi Bharata, Deputy Head of the State-Owned Enterprise Regulatory Board, stated that through the theme “Safe Mudik, Shared Hope”, state-owned enterprises are committed to providing safe, orderly, and meaningful homecoming travel for communities.
“Free BUMN Mudik is a tangible expression of the state’s social concern through BUMN, so that communities can return home safely, comfortably, and with happiness,” he said.
According to Ahmad Fajar, Acting Chief Executive Officer of ITDC, ITDC’s participation in this free mudik programme is part of its commitment to discharging social responsibility and strengthening the role of BUMN as a development agent that delivers genuine benefits to communities.
“ITDC’s participation in the Free BUMN Mudik 2026 programme is a manifestation of our support for the government and BP BUMN initiative to provide safe, comfortable, and affordable homecoming travel for communities,” he said.
This is being done by providing buses with routes from Jakarta to Yogyakarta, Semarang, and Solo. We hope to help communities enjoy their journey home with greater peace of mind and happiness with their families.
He added that ITDC’s involvement in the programme also reflects the company’s commitment to supporting sustainable social connectivity through programmes that are consistently delivered year on year by BUMN.
“We believe that inter-BUMN synergy in programmes like this not only supports the smooth operation of the national mudik flow, but also strengthens the social connectivity of communities with their hometowns,” he said.
The programme, Fajar added, is a tangible expression of BUMN’s concern in ensuring that communities are able to maintain relationships with their families and regions of origin through safe, dignified, and affordable travel.
Through its support for the Free BUMN Mudik 2026 programme, ITDC hopes to help communities enjoy their journey home with greater safety, comfort, and meaning, so that the Eid al-Fitr 1447H celebrations can be marked with full happiness with loved ones.
