BEKASI - PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk (JSMR) projects that as many as 3.5 million vehicles will leave the Jabodetabek area during the 2026 Lebaran holiday period. This figure is estimated to be in line with the length of the Lebaran holiday this year.

"So, the estimate of 3.5 million vehicles, which we see the homecoming flow will peak is on 18 (March)," said Jasa Marga President Director Rivan A. Purwantono in the Jasa Marga Siaga Media Briefing: Operational Readiness for Eid al-Fitr 1447 H/2026 at the Jasa Marga Tollroad Command Center (JMTC) Jati Asih, Bekasi, West Java, Tuesday, March 10.

Rivan explained, of the 3.5 million vehicles, vehicles pass through toll roads in three directions. The presence is 28 percent of vehicles heading to Merak, 50 percent of vehicles heading to the East (Trans Java and Cikampek Utama) and 20 percent heading to Bogor.

"Well, what must be anticipated is 50 (percent) to the East because this will be divided again 57 percent towards Trans Java and 42 percent towards Cileunyi/Cipularang. And usually the density at kilometer 66 because the meeting of the very large volume of vehicles," he said.

According to Rivan, vehicle movement is also predicted to begin on Friday, March 13. This is because the holiday period is quite long, making the opportunity to return home faster.

"However, we estimate that the movement has begun to emerge since this Friday (March 13), because of the long holiday period. This is the right time to travel," he explained.

He also projected that the peak of the reverse flow would occur on March 24, 2026. "The peak of the reverse flow itself is predicted to occur on March 24 (H+3). Some travelers may divide their time of silaturahminya to immediately return to Jakarta, while others may stay until the end of the holiday period," he added.
