Updated Merak–Bakauheni Ferry Ticket Prices for Eid al-Fitr 2026: One-Price Tariff Scheme

The Eid al-Fitr exodus for 1447 Hijri is approaching. PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) has published the latest ticket price list for the Lebaran 2026 period for the Java–Sumatra crossing. This year the government introduced an attractive measure—the One-Price Tariff Program—under which passengers can access executive-class vessel facilities while paying the regular tariff. Details are as follows, with prices differentiated by service class and vehicle type: Passenger (Pedestrian); Vehicle (Popular); Group II (Motorcycles <500cc); Group IVA (Private cars/small). This is the most awaited information. ASDP implements a special tariff scheme where you can obtain Express service at the Regular price. Given there are no longer physical ticket sales at ports (cashless), you must book online at least H-1 before departure. Port management and vessel operations are not under the same entity. Port management is under Pelindo while vessel operations are by Pelni. Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono has responded to statements by Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa regarding funds for vessel purchases. Indonesian National Shipowners Association/INSA estimates the state could lose tax revenue up to trillions of rupiah from foreign-flag vessel activities. PT Perta Arun Gas (PAG) held a large-scale port security simulation. Pelni provides four vessels with a capacity of 1,500 passengers per vessel for passengers heading to Eastern Indonesia during Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026. Kemenhub implements delaying system and sets a buffer zone at Merak, Bakauheni, Ketapang, and Gilimanuk to anticipate congestion during Lebaran 2026. Long traffic jams are common on the Merak–Bakauheni crossing, especially during the Nataru period. In addition to the division of ferry berths, the government has prepared a delaying system or traffic management aimed at slowing vehicles entering the port. Following directives from President Prabowo Subianto, the 2025 mudik should be better than 2024.
