Waskita Karya Free Homecoming Programme: Hundreds of Travellers Depart from Jakarta

PT Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk is once again organising the Mudik Bersama BUMN programme this year. In the free homecoming activity initiated by the State-Owned Enterprises Regulatory Agency (BP BUMN) and the Nusantara Future Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara), the company is transporting nearly 300 homecomers to destinations in Solo, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Malang, and Surabaya. Waskita Karya’s Corporate Secretary, Ermy Puspa Yunita, stated that the homecomers, consisting of Waskita Karya employees, subsidiaries, employees’ families, and the general public, were transported using six modes of transport in the form of buses. Five buses were departed from the Waskita Karya Building in Jakarta. Meanwhile, one other bus was departed directly by the Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, as well as the Chief Operating Officer of BPI Danantara and Head of BP BUMN, Dony Oskaria, together with around 66 other SOEs at Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) in Jakarta. This year’s BUMN Homecoming carries the theme ‘Mudik Nyaman Bersama’. ‘For Waskita, organising this free homecoming is not just fulfilling an obligation, but also as a form of appreciation to Waskita’s people and the entire community that continues to support Waskita. We hope they can experience a safe and comfortable homecoming journey until they reach their destination,’ said Ermy in a written statement on Thursday (19/3/2026). Through this activity, said Ermy, the company also hopes to help and ease the public who want to carry out the homecoming tradition or return to their hometowns, but are constrained by costs or difficulty finding tickets. Mudik Bersama BUMN also aims to minimise risks during the journey. ‘This joint homecoming agenda departs from the high statistics of homecomers using motorcycles, which have the highest vulnerability compared to vehicles like buses. We also hope that Mudik Bersama BUMN will reduce the use of private vehicles to reduce carbon emissions from the transportation sector,’ she added. Not only providing buses, Waskita also equipped the homecomers with provisions during the journey and medicines. The company ensures that the public participating in this free homecoming are always healthy and safe until they reach their destination. ‘This activity is a real manifestation of the company’s commitment in implementing the principles of Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) while encouraging sustainable economic practices in Indonesia. Waskita hopes that next year it can transport even more homecomers,’ Ermy concluded.
