The Bandung Regency Transportation Service (Dishub) said the peak of the 2023 Eid backflow on the southern route, especially the Nagreg section, had passed.

Bandung Regency Transportation Agency Public Relations Eric Alam Prabowo said the peak of the backflow on the route occurred on D+2 Lebaran or Tuesday, April 25.

"The peak of backflow was like last night, D+2 Lebaran," said Eric in Bandung, West Java, Wednesday, April 26, which was confiscated by Antara.

On D+2 Lebaran, the Bandung Transportation Agency noted that there were more than 127 thousand vehicles crossing the Nagreg route from east to Bandung and Jakarta.

Meanwhile, the previous day on D+1 Lebaran, the number of vehicles passing from east to Bandung and Jakarta was around 114 thousand.
