Based on data cited from the Indonesian Transportation and Infrastructure Information System (Siasati) of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub), the number of travelers during the 2019 Lebaran holiday period (H-7 to H-1) totaled 7.2 million. This figure is lower compared to the same period in 2018, which reached 8.02 million travelers. This period assumes that travelers journeyed from Jakarta and its surrounding areas to their hometowns in Java or Sumatra.
The largest decrease was experienced by air transportation. In 2019, the number of air passengers was recorded at only 1.5 million, while in 2018 it reached 2.07 million passengers traveling up to H-1 Lebaran. For road and sea transportation modes, the decrease was not significant. Meanwhile, train and sea transportation modes still experienced an increase in travelers this year.
However, Kemenhub also recorded a significant decrease in the number of accidents during the 2019 Lebaran homecoming and return flows compared to 2018. The decrease reached 64% compared to the previous year.
