According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Transportation through the Transportation Policy Agency (BKT), the number of people traveling during the 2024 Eid al-Fitr homecoming season is predicted to reach 193.6 million, or 71.7% of Indonesia's total population.

"This figure is an increase compared to the potential movement of people during the 2023 Eid al-Fitr period, which was 123.8 million," said Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi in an official statement on Tuesday (March 12, 2024).

The survey results also show that trains are the most popular mode of transportation for the Eid homecoming, with 39.32 million people (20.3%) choosing this option. This is followed by buses with 37.51 million people (19.4%), private cars with 35.42 million people (18.3%), and motorcycles with 31.12 million people (16.07%).

"Public interest (in using transportation) is influenced by several factors, including the absence of Covid-19, family economics, joint leave, school holidays, improvements in the quality and quantity of transportation infrastructure, and weather conditions," said Budi.

Based on the origin of the journey, East Java had the highest number of travelers with 31.3 million people (16.2%), followed by Jabodetabek with 28.43 million people (14.7%), and Central Java with 26.11 million people (13.5%). Meanwhile, the most popular destinations were Central Java with 61.6 million people (31.8%), East Java with 37.6 million people (19.4%), and West Java with 32.1 million people (16.6%).

The Kemenhub survey also shows that the estimated peak day for the Eid homecoming, based on public choice, is two days before Eid or Monday, April 8, 2024 (the start of the joint leave), with a potential movement of 26.6 million people (13.7%). On the other hand, the estimated peak day for the return journey is three days after Eid, or Sunday, April 14, 2024, with a potential movement of 41 million people (21.2%).

Budi stated that his ministry will take preparatory steps, both operationally and in terms of policy, in controlling and regulating transportation, and comprehensive handling in collaboration with ministries and institutions in the central government, local governments, state-owned enterprises, and the private sector.

He continued that the government will implement effective policies to anticipate a surge in homecoming travelers that could cause congestion at junctions and on roads through travel patterns, transportation patterns, and traffic patterns.

"We will implement regulations regarding homecoming time, provide discounts on mass transportation fares for early homecoming, offer free homecoming transportation, implement traffic engineering, offer toll road discounts, and regulate traffic, especially in areas at risk of experiencing extraordinary congestion," said Budi.

The Kemenhub survey was conducted in collaboration with the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the Ministry of Communication and Informatics, and involved experts and academics in the field of transportation.
