A commuter interviewed by ANTARA at Kampung Rambutan Terminal, Lidya, who resides in Bogor, West Java, is set to travel to Lampung today.

“Work, so I only got the leave now,” she said.

Ida, a commuter from Cibinong, West Java, heading back to her hometown in Palembang, South Sumatra, expressed a similar situation. She said she had to wait for the company’s holiday schedule.

“I only got the leave today, so I’m heading home straight away,” she said.

“I can only go home now because I’m waiting for my work holiday schedule; the past few days I was still working,” said Manda.
