YOGYAKARTA Some people choose to go home for Eid using intercity interprovincial (AKAP) buses as an alternative transportation. Unfortunately, there are people who take advantage of this moment for the purpose of leading to ticket fraud. To avoid this, there are some tips for buying AKAP bus tickets ahead of Lebaran homecoming.

How to buy a safe AKAP bus ticket can actually be done directly through an official agent. The following tips will help prospective AKAP bus passengers buy tickets safely.

Tips for buying AKAP buses on the island of Java and outside Java cover several things, namely as follows.

The first tip that must be considered is choosing a clear and trustworthy bus PO. Avoid choosing a bus PO that does not have complete information regarding the company's profile. To find information related to bus PO, prospective passengers can check on the internet or on social media.

Prospective passengers must buy tickets at official pools, both offline and online. Do not buy bus tickets on individual parties who offer them on the side of the road or through channels whose credibility is doubtful. Buy tickets that are not officially prone to being deceived.

Prospective passengers may go home using a new PO bus but still have to remain vigilant. Check first the background, office, and testimonials. Check whether the new PO has a reporting mechanism if passengers feel disadvantaged.

Approaching Eid, sometimes there are parties who increase the Akap bus fare and even lower it at a very cheap price. Bus ticket rates can be an indication of whether the PO for transportation providers can be trusted or not.

If possible, prospective passengers can buy tickets in advance so that the trip is really well planned. Avoid buying a bus ticket for Eid to anticipate tickets running out. Apart from being related to purchases, also make sure the departure point. Don't hesitate to contact the ticket provider to make sure that the seat you buy is safe.

Ahead of Lebaran, there will be many bus ticket promos scattered. Even promos sometimes do not include clear information such as who the organizers are, schedules, and other technical matters. If prospective passengers have checked the promo organizers and get tickets, try to cross-check to the bus PO listed on the ticket.

Prospective passengers are also advised to ask about the amount of built-in capacity that is allowed to be carried on the way. Usually each bus PO has a policy related to the default capacity. Several bus POs allow passengers to carry a maximum luggage of 20 kg which can be placed in the trunk outside the bus.

Prospective passengers who plan to buy tickets at the terminal but don't know where to go, try asking the Transportation Service (Dishub) officers at the terminal. Dishub officers usually wear blue uniforms. They will take prospective passengers who are confused towards a trusted official bus agent.
