LEBAK - Homecomers at the Mandala Rangkasbitung Terminal in Lebak Regency increased from 350 passengers to 630 passengers on D-4 Lebaran 2022 or Thursday, April 28. Head of the Mandala Rangkasbitung Terminal, Muksin said, the increase in homecomers was mostly from the Jakarta, Bekasi and Tangerang areas. Then they continued their journey to a number of areas in Lebak and Pandeglang regencies. "We hope that the travelers will safely reach their destination, especially since the current weather is quite extreme," he said in Lebak, Thursday, April 28.

Muksin said the increase in passengers at the Rangkasbitung Mandala Terminal began today. He predicts the peak of the homecoming flow at the terminal will take place on D-2 Lebaran or Saturday 30 April.

Muksin explained that the number of arriving passengers on Wednesday, April 27, was 350 people and on D-4 until the afternoon there were 630 passengers.

Considering the prediction of the peak flow of going home at the Rangkasbitung Mandala Terminal, Muksin asked the bus drivers and crew to carry out ramp checks on intercity interprovincial buses (AKAP) as well as rural transport.

"We haven't found a bus fleet or rural transportation that is not roadworthy," he said. Meanwhile, Rohman, a traveler aiming for Cileles, Lebak Regency admitted that he and his wife and children were happy to be able to return to their hometown, because two years ago they were prohibited from going home due to the pandemic. "We are going back to our hometown already undergoing a booster vaccine with our wife," he said.
