Terminal Manager: No Delays in Bus Arrivals at Kampung Rambutan
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The manager of Kampung Rambutan Terminal states that the arrival of intercity interprovincial (AKAP) buses has not experienced any delays up to Wednesday, or H+4 of the post-Eid al-Fitr return flow in 2026.
Kampung Rambutan Terminal Head Revi Zulkarnain stated that the 2026 post-Eid return flow is proceeding smoothly and does not disrupt travel due to the one-way mechanism from the Cipali toll road direction towards Jakarta.
“Alhamdulillah, up to now we have not received any information about bus arrival delays because the Cipali toll road from Java is operating one-way towards Jakarta. So, it is ensured that buses arrive in Jakarta smoothly and do not disrupt the return journey,” he said in an interview at Kampung Rambutan Terminal, East Jakarta, on Wednesday.
Revi explained that AKAP buses arriving in Jakarta immediately turn around to return to their regions to pick up passengers, so there are no delays or passenger build-ups at the terminal.
“Because when they arrive in Jakarta, they immediately turn around to go back to the regions to pick up passengers there,” he said.
For bus fleets arriving at night, Revi explained that Transjakarta has prepared 15 buses, namely on the Kampung Rambutan-Pulo Gebang, Kampung Rambutan-Harmoni, and Kampung Rambutan-Blok M routes, with five units each.
“So, from Jakarta, they are preparing night transport. There are several routes: from Kampung Rambutan-Pulo Gebang, then Kampung Rambutan-Harmoni, then Kampung Rambutan-Blok M. They are preparing around 15 units,” he clarified.
Additionally, fleets other than buses will be deployed in the form of 2,400 JakLingko Mikrotrans units from night until early morning at 5:00 WIB.
“Then, added with JakLingko Mikrotrans, which adds to the night transport from 24:00 WIB until 05:00 WIB,” he added.
This deployment is certainly to maximise terminal operations in facing the surge of the post-Eid return flow, which is predicted to peak first on Wednesday and second on 29 March 2026.
“It is estimated that on Sunday, 29 March 2026, from early morning until morning, continuing until night,” he added.
