Public Transport Operators and Drivers Pledge to Ensure Safety During 2026 Lebaran Homecoming
Jakarta, VIVA – Public transport operators and drivers have demonstrated strong commitment in preparation for the 2026 Lebaran homecoming and return traffic flows. Education efforts conducted by National Traffic Police Corps (Korlantas Polri) personnel in the field have shown their full readiness to prioritise vehicle safety and driver safety in order to achieve road security, safety, order and smooth traffic flow (Kamseltibcarlantas).
A number of operators and drivers have openly declared their support through video statements as a form of moral responsibility to the public who use transportation services.
The commitment follows instructions from Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho, Head of Korlantas Polri, to the Directorate of Security and Safety (Ditkamsel) from central to regional levels to intensify education for public transport vehicle owners and drivers.
“We have instructed Ditkamsel personnel from the central to regional levels to earnestly educate public transport owners and drivers so they commit to implementing Kamseltibcarlantas. Vehicles must be safe and drivers must also be safe,” said Agus in a written statement in Jakarta on Wednesday, 18 February 2026.
In field implementation, public transport operators have declared their readiness to conduct thorough inspections of their fleets before operating during the Lebaran transport period. They are ensuring every vehicle is roadworthy, has passed the KIR roadworthiness test, has optimal braking systems, and meets all administrative requirements.
Meanwhile, drivers have also declared their readiness to maintain physical and mental fitness, comply with rest periods, refrain from driving whilst fatigued, and adhere to traffic regulations.
Agus emphasised that preemptive and preventive approaches are the top priority in addressing the surge in public mobility during Lebaran. Synergy between regulators, law enforcement, operators and drivers is the key to reducing road accident figures.
“Lebaran is a moment of happiness. Safety must be a shared priority. We want the public to travel home safely, arrive at their destinations safely, and return safely,” said Agus.
The tagline for the 2026 Lebaran season is “Safe Homecoming, Sharing Hope.” With concrete commitments from transport operators and drivers, Korlantas Polri is optimistic that the management of Lebaran 2026 traffic security will run better, more humanely, and with a prevention-oriented approach, in line with the spirit of Precision Policing in protecting and serving the public.
