What about 'Lebaran' transportation?

What about 'Lebaran' transportation?

From Neraca

Domestic bus passengers always face a dilemma prior to
Lebaran. The problem is usually insufficient transportation to
carry commuters to their respective hometowns. Another problem is
irrationally increased bus fares. Fares could rise by more than
50 percent while only a 30 percent price hike has been permitted.

Nowadays overland transport is more appealing and more
comfortable, but fees have also adapted accordingly. Witness
those six-wheeled buses equipped with facilities similar to
modern aircraft such as reclining seats, toilet, blankets,
cushions, and air-conditioning.

But, will all of this have any impact on travel when traffic
jams along the northern coast still haunt bus drivers and a brief
stretch of road turns into a half day trip?

Another question of mine is, will regular bus lines which have
been doubling their prices, increase their fares further?

I am concerned about this because it did happen last year.
Buses have started charging unreasonable fares on regular days.
It would not be surprising if certain transportation companies
also join in these price hikes before Lebaran.

We hope that officials of the Traffic and Transportation
Department will do their job effectively and side with the
consumers, instead of lending their support to such bus
companies.
