Jakarta Provincial Government Crackdown on Shadow Terminals Ahead of Lebaran 2026 Homecoming

Jakarta – Ahead of the Lebaran 2026 homecoming, Pramono Anung highlighted the proliferation of shadow terminals that are busier than official terminals. This situation is seen as potentially generating security and order problems, especially as passenger volumes surge. The Jakarta Provincial Government will crack down on these unofficial terminals to ensure the comfort of travellers. He said that crowding at unofficial points must not be allowed to occur, as it risks causing congestion, disorder, and safety hazards. Therefore, he urged the public and transport providers to comply with the rules by operating through the official terminals prepared by the government. This crackdown also aligns with the free mudik programme facilitated by the DKI Provincial Government this year. The local government aims to dispatch around 26,500 travellers using official transport and terminals to ensure the process is more orderly and monitored. Nevertheless, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government remains open to the use of certain points outside terminals, provided they have official permission from the local government. “Except for those that obtain approval or permission from the Jakarta Provincial Government. Like Monas, that can be used,” said Pramono.
