JAKARTA - Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi invites the public to take advantage of discounts on transportation fares during the 2025 Christmas and New Year 2026 (Nataru) Transportation period. This policy is expected to reduce the cost of travel and help regulate the flow of mobility.

"We once again invite the public to make the most of this discount period, while still prioritizing safety and order during the journey," said Dudy in an official statement, Monday, December 15.

Dudy said the Nataru tariff discount policy was a direct follow-up to President Prabowo Subianto's direction to ease the burden of people's travel costs ahead of the year-end holidays.

Furthermore, Dudy said the discount on transportation tariffs had been officially implemented since November 21, 2025. The implementation of this is intended to give the public a more mature, measured, and not focused on the peak period of holiday traffic.

"The President's instructions are clear, the state must be present to ensure that people's mobility remains affordable and runs smoothly during the year-end holidays. Therefore, our transportation fare discounts are applied early so that people can plan their trips better and not pile up at one time," he said.

"This discount policy is not only aimed at reducing the cost burden of travel," continued Budi, "but also becomes an instrument for managing the flow of people's movement so that it is more even. According to him, affordability of tariffs must go hand in hand with safe and orderly mobility arrangements.

"We want people to travel at a lower cost, but still be safe and comfortable. This tariff incentive is also part of the government's efforts to manage the Nataru flow so that there is no accumulation and services remain optimal," he said.
