Peak Mudik Traffic at Kampung Rambutan Terminal Predicted for This Afternoon

JAKARTA - The management of Kampung Rambutan Terminal predicts that the peak departure for Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah mudik at the terminal will occur on Wednesday afternoon (18/3/2026). This prediction is based on the number of passengers on H-4 Lebaran, or Tuesday (17/3/2026), which reached 4,059 people. These passengers departed for various destinations, such as East Java, Yogyakarta, Central Java, West Java, and Sumatra. Revi also stated that support buses have been prepared to anticipate the surge in passengers intending to mudik. “Indeed, for popular destinations, especially long-distance ones and closer popular destinations like Central Java, additional support buses have been provided. Currently, there are already three additional buses,” he said. There is a ticket price increase for buses during this year’s mudik season of around 30 to 50 percent, depending on the bus class. “For economy fares, they are regulated by the government, calculated in rupiah per kilometre. But for non-economy fares such as AC, sleeper, and executive, they are left to the market or bus companies. So bus companies are free to set fares but must not exceed the upper and lower limits,” he explained. From Kompas.com observations, the waiting area at Kampung Rambutan Terminal appeared crowded with numerous passengers carrying suitcases and large bags. Several drivers also underwent health checks in the terminal’s health room.
