Thousands of Taspen Commuters Head to Cities in Java and Sumatra
PT Taspen has dispatched 1,400 mudik participants using 35 bus fleets to various destinations on Java and Sumatra. This free mudik programme supports the smooth flow of Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah travel, departing from several points in Jakarta on Tuesday (17/3).
“The Mudik Nyaman Bersama Taspen 2026 programme is a tangible manifestation of our presence for stakeholders, including the Indonesian public,” said Corporate Secretary Henra. The programme is part of the BUMN Free Mudik initiative, aimed at facilitating the public to return to their hometowns safely, comfortably, and orderly during the 2026 Lebaran festivities.
In its implementation, Taspen ensures all fleets are prepared in a coordinated manner and equipped with journey escorts to provide a sense of security for participants throughout the trip. Additionally, all participants receive life and personal accident insurance protection from Taspen Life through the Taspen Group Personal Accident product, with coverage valued at Rp20 million per participant.
The state-owned insurance company also expands the programme’s reach by providing 15 additional buses for employees in ministerial environments, including five units for the Ministry of State Secretariat, and two units each for the Ministry of PANRB, Ministry of Human Rights, Ministry of Manpower, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Bappenas. This step is seen as a form of inter-agency synergy in supporting more orderly public mobility during the Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah period.
The travel routes cover major destinations such as Semarang via the northern route, Yogyakarta via the southern and central routes, Madiun via the Cipali Toll, Malang via Yogyakarta and the central route, Solo-Sragen, Surabaya via the northern route, as well as cities outside Java like Padang and Jambi.
In addition to providing transportation, Taspen offers various additional facilities for participants, including merchandise and travel essentials such as t-shirts, hats, tumblers, umbrellas, and bags. The organising committee also equips participants with light medication kits, such as wind oil and motion sickness remedies, to maintain comfort and health during the journey.
