The Peak Of Homecoming Traffic At Kampung Rambutan Terminal Is Predicted To Happen Today

JAKARATA - The peak of the homecoming flow by Intercity Interprovincial Bus (AKAP) through the Kampung Rambutan Terminal, East Jakarta, is predicted to occur today (Saturday 30 April).

"We saw from yesterday's trend on D-3 that there was an increase so that today there could also be an upward trend," said Head of Kampung Rambutan Terminal, Yulza Romadhoni, quoted by Antara.

For the number of passengers and fleet today, Yulza said, his party is still making records.

Yulza said, as of April 29, there were 2,791 passengers departing from Kampung Rambutan Terminal and 131 buses. This trend has increased significantly since the H-7 of Eid 25 April.

On April 25, Kampung Rambutan Terminal recorded as many as 128 vehicles departing for their respective destinations with a total of 1,016 passengers. On April 26, 149 vehicles departed with a total of 1,196 passengers.

On April 27, there were 198 vehicles with a total of 1,743 homecomers. Meanwhile, on April 28, a total of 164 vehicles departed and 1,869 passengers.

The majority of homecomers in Indonesia are still dominated by destinations to the island of Sumatra, such as the provinces of South Sumatra, West Sumatra, Bengkulu, North Sumatra and Lampung.

In addition, departures to Central Java, West Java, East Java and Yogyakarta are also quite dominating the homecoming flow this time.

When compared to the period before the pandemic, namely 2019, the number of homecomers this year is still relatively low.

"In 2019 it is still normal, considering that it was the year before the pandemic, in one day it could penetrate 8,000 (passengers)," he said.

In fact, it once reached 14,000 a day. "So compared to 2019, the comparison is still very far," said Yulza.

Meanwhile, there are a number of facilities that prospective travelers can take advantage of at the Kampung Rambutan Terminal.

Starting from the third vaccination (booster), antigen rapid test, integrated security post, driver's health post and health post for passengers.
