Visit Erick Thohir's Office, Minister Of Transportation Dudy Discusses Readiness Of Eid Transportation 2025
Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Dudy Purwagandhi visited the office of the Ministry of SOEs to meet with Erick Thohir. Dudy's presence was to discuss the readiness of Eid homecoming transportation or Eid al-Fitr 2025.
At the meeting, Dudy said that he conveyed several preparations based on a special evaluation of the previous Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025 (Nataru) homecoming transportation so that the 2025 Eid homecoming transportation or 1446 H Eid al-Fitr could be better.
"Some of the things we discussed, talk about from the results of the evaluation that Nataru yesterday and also from the evaluation of the Eid transportation last year (2024)," he said at a press conference, at the Ministry of SOEs Office, Jakarta, Tuesday, January 21.
Dudy said that the implementation of the 2025 Eid homecoming transportation could not be separated from the cooperation between regulators and operators.
"Our hope is that the 2025 Eid transportation will run smoothly and safely," he said.
Meanwhile, SOE Minister Erick Thohir said the meeting with Minister of Transportation Dudy was to synchronize policies or technical steps regarding the preparation of state-owned companies in the transportation sector to anticipate homecoming and the return flow of Eid this year.
"We really need this synchronization, in line with the President's direction to ensure that services to the public can be maximized," said Erick.
Erick also mentioned the government's success in organizing homecoming transportation during the Nataru holiday period. He also hopes that this success will be continued in the implementation of this year's Eid homecoming transportation.
Even so, Erick highlighted several things that needed to be improved. For example, crossing from Merak Harbor to Bakauheni Port by PT ASDP (Persero) which often occurs in traffic jams.
"But because this will be five times from Nataru to Eid, it is certain that the traffic jams that have been at ASDP in Merak can be overcome. Maybe that's the biggest record," said Erick.

He said his party would also return to summon state-owned land and sea transportation to discuss the readiness for Eid 2025 homecoming transportation.
"God willing, tomorrow we will also collect land and sea transportation, so that preparations for Eid, which I know of course, the complexity width is much higher than Nataru," he said.
