West Java Provincial Government: 660 free Lebaran mudik seats still available

ANTARA – The West Java Provincial Office of Transportation (Dishub Jabar) said the Lebaran 2026 free mudik quotas are still available with 660 seats out of a total of 3,040 allocated, and urged the public to register for the programme via the Sapawarga app. Dhani Gumelar, head of the West Java Provincial Office of Transportation, said on Tuesday (3 March) that most popular routes have been fully booked, and only three routes remain within West Java. Specifically, the Bandung to Sukabumi route has 288 seats remaining, the Bogor to Pelabuhan Ratu route has 156 seats, and the Bogor (Cileungsi) to Bandung route has 216 seats, Dhani said in Bandung on Tuesday. Based on Dishub Jabar data, popular routes to Central Java and several points in West Java have sold out. Tickets already booked include routes from Bekasi to Tasikmalaya, Purbalingga and Bandung. Likewise, departures from Bandung to Solo, Wonogiri, Yogyakarta, Ciledug, Semarang and Sragen. The return route from Yogyakarta to Bandung has also been reported as fully booked. “People can book the remaining tickets via the Sapawarga app. Registration is open until 12 March 2026,” Dhani said. Registration on Sapawarga can be done by entering personal data such as NIK, the Kartu Keluarga number, and selecting the route. Meanwhile, the selection of travel dates is made during ticket activation from 1 to 12 March 2026. The programme is open to West Java residents who will travel outside the province, as well as outsiders who wish to come to West Java during Lebaran 2026. The government has prepared 74 buses scheduled to depart on 13, 14 and 15 March 2026 from gathering points at Leuwipanjang Terminal, Cikarang Terminal and Kota Bekasi. In addition to easing the economic burden on the public, this free mudik programme is projected to reduce private vehicle use, which is directly expected to ease potential traffic congestion during Lebaran Mudik 2026.
