BEKASI - Hundreds of homecomers to various regions started departing from the Bekasi Bus Terminal. This is a sign that there is a surge in passengers at the terminal.

"There has been a surge in passengers, although it's not significant yet," said Head of the Bekasi City Transportation Service, Dadang Ginanjar, at the Bekasi Terminal, as reported by Antara, Sunday, April 24.

He said the increase in the number of passengers today is still far below the peak of the Lebaran homecoming flow from the departure point of the Bekasi Bus Terminal.

"There has not been a drastic increase, especially for AKAP bus passengers heading to Java, but those heading to Sumatra have started to increase by around 20 percent from normal passengers," he said.

Based on data from the bus company at the terminal, there were more than 400 homecomers who departed today. This number is still far below the peak of going home in that location which can reach 1,200 passengers per day.

Dadang confirmed that a number of officers had been deployed to anticipate a surge in homecomers which is predicted to start on Thursday next week, April 28.

The bus fleet has also been prepared to anticipate a boom in passengers.

"The regular fleet is almost 240, of course if there is a surge there is usually good assistance from Primajasa, we will prepare Mayasari. The point is that we have prepared the supply of buses for going home," he said.
