In detail, for the east direction, vehicles heading to Trans Java via Cikampek Utama GT on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road totalled 387,451 vehicles, up 95.6 percent from normal traffic. “Thus, the total traffic leaving Jabotabek towards Trans Java and Bandung via those two GTs amounted to 612,956 vehicles, an increase of 46.5 percent from normal traffic,” he clarified.
