JAKARTA - Pertamina Patra Niaga is preparing modular fuel stations and Pertamina Siaga kiosks to alleviate traffic jams and queues for refuelling petroleum products (BBM) on the Eid exodus routes for Lebaran 2026.

A total of 95 modular fuel station units and 61 Pertamina Siaga kiosk units are being distributed at strategic points. The locations cover busy exodus routes and tourist areas. Several points are in areas that do not yet have fuel stations.

Corporate Secretary of Pertamina Patra Niaga, Roberth MV Dumatubun, stated that this addition of services is part of the company’s commitment to maintaining the smooth distribution of energy during the exodus.

“We are taking this step to help reduce queues and provide easier access to energy for the public during their journey home for Eid,” he said in a written statement on Thursday (19/3/2026).

The system is compact and mobile. The service is faster. Queues on the main exodus routes are expected to decrease.

Pertamina Siaga kiosks function as additional service points. These facilities reach areas far from fuel stations.

Roberth explained that all additional services are integrated with the national energy distribution system. This system is prepared during the Ramadan and Eid Task Force (Satgas RAFI).

“With all these preparations, Pertamina Patra Niaga ensures that the public can undertake their Eid journey more calmly and comfortably, without worrying about the availability of BBM along the travel routes,” said Roberth.
