JAKARTA - The government targets the completion of the North Coast (Pantura) Java line at least H-10 Lebaran.
The improvement of the Pantura line will be carried out mainly at the point where motor drivers pass through.
Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi said that the repair would be carried out directly by the Ministry of Public Works (PU).
He added, the PU Ministry has also agreed to the deadline.
"From the PU ministry, they promised that at least H-10 it was completed. The repairs on the Pantura road or the roads will be passed by the pilgrims who use motorbikes," he said when met in Gambir, Jakarta, Tuesday, February 24.
Furthermore, Dudy said, the peak of the Lebaran homecoming this year is estimated to occur on March 18.
Even so, Dudy believes that traffic density ahead of Eid can be overcome given that the government has established a work from anywhere (WFA) scheme.
"The peak of the homecoming flow is if it is counted on March 18. But with WFA, we hope that the peak can be spread," he explained.
In addition, Dudy said, the government this year has also poured a number of stimuli in the transportation sector.
He said the stimulus includes a 14 to 18 percent discount on transportation.
"We hope that what we did last year will be better this year," he said.
