Trans-Java Toll Road VC Ratio Remains Safe During Return Flow

JAKARTA - PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk, together with the Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia and the Indonesian National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas Polri), stated that the services for the Eid al-Fitr holiday outbound and return flows in 2026 have generally proceeded in a controlled manner. The increase in traffic volume during that period was deemed manageable through intensive collaboration among stakeholders. Jasa Marga President Director Rivan A. Purwantono stated that as of Sunday (29/03/2026) at 22:00 WIB, 2.9 million vehicles had entered Jakarta. That number equates to 86 percent of the total projected vehicles returning to the capital. “The average volume per capacity ratio (VC Ratio) on several main Trans-Java toll road sections was monitored in a controlled condition,” said Rivan, quoted from an official statement on Monday (30/03/2026). The VC Ratio on the Batang-Semarang Toll Road was recorded at 0.3, Palikanci Toll Road at 0.28, Cipali Toll Road at 0.22, and Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road at 0.36. “Based on those parameters, the return traffic flow has been observed to ease from KM 414 Kalikangkung Toll Gate to KM 70 Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road towards Jakarta,” Rivan stated. Head of Korlantas Polri Agus Suryonugroho stated that several traffic engineering measures, such as contraflow and precise local one-way schemes, were temporarily implemented to anticipate vehicle surges during the return flow. “We have carried out sterilisation and socialisation to the public that the implementation of one-way will officially end in the early hours of this Sunday (29/03/2026) at 24:00 WIB, in accordance with the joint decision,” said the Korlantas Head. Meanwhile, Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi stated that with the increasingly controlled traffic conditions, the one-way policy has been officially discontinued, and vehicle flow has returned to normal. “The implementation of the precise local one-way at 24:00 WIB we declare complete. To the public still travelling, we urge caution and to always follow directions and instructions from on-site officers, as journeys continue and traffic is now operating normally,” Dudy said. Jasa Marga also expressed appreciation for the collaboration of all stakeholders in managing traffic during the 2026 Eid al-Fitr holiday, including the Ministry of Transportation, Korlantas Polri, and field operational officers.
