BOGOR - The deadline for registration for free homecoming for Eid 2022 using inter-provincial intercity buses (AKAP) held by the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) can still be done at the Bogor City Transportation Service (Dishub) until Tuesday, April 26.

"At the Transportation Agency, registration is still ongoing until April 26. The number of buses depends on the number of passengers," said Head of the Bogor City Transportation Agency, Eko Prabowo, in Bogor City, quoted from Antara, Sunday, April 17.

Eko said, there have been approximately 100 people who registered for free homecoming using the AKAP bus for the first time which during the COVID-19 pandemic was abolished.

Registration for free homecoming organized by the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) nationally is carried out in two stages, first at the beginning of Ramadan with a quota of 10,500 people using 350 buses.

Then, on Wednesday, April 13, the Director-General of Land Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) Budi Setiyadi said that the free homecoming quota for Eid 2022 will be increased to 21,000 people using 700 buses.

The second phase of free homecoming registration will also open on Monday 18 April.

Budi said around 21,000 thousand people from the Greater Jakarta area would be transported to a number of areas on the island of Java.

The Ministry of Transportation also provides transportation for 2,000 people's motorbikes who go home for free. This activity is planned to be carried out from 27, 28, and 29 April 2022.

According to Eko, the implementation of the free homecoming program using AKAP buses in Bogor City is still waiting for public interest in bus transportation.

The free homecoming program, he said, is directly handled nationally by the Ministry of Transportation, both registration and alerted officers, so the Bogor City Transportation Agency is helpful and will coordinate the exact number of buses that will be provided for the free homecoming program to the Ministry of Transportation.

In this program, the Bogor City Government only facilitates a place for departure which has been carried out at the Baranangsiang Terminal. "Tomorrow I will ask (about the target of travelers from Bogor City)," he said.
