JAKARTA - The management of the Kalideres Terminal provides various facilities to support the homecoming flow during this year's Eid al-Fitr celebration, one of which is the provision of a stage to entertain passengers who are waiting for the bus.

"We provide various facilities, one of which is entertainment facilities to entertain passengers so they don't get bored," said Head of Kalideres Terminal Revi Zulkarnain to Antara in Jakarta, Saturday, April 30.

The 1.5 x 3 meter stage presented karaoke services accompanied by organs and drums. The entertainment facilities are available on D-7 or on Monday 25 April to D-1 or Sunday 1 May.

Revi explained that Kalideres Terminal is a conventional terminal which has been in operation since 1985. With the addition of the number of passengers during the homecoming period, the management has also added tent facilities for passenger waiting areas.

In addition, the Kalideres Terminal cooperates with Kimia Farma to provide health services that can be used by passengers.

Other facilities also available at Kalideres Terminal are the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI), antigen service, security posts consisting of the Police and TNI, as well as booster vaccine services.

The booster vaccine service facility can be used for passengers who want to get a booster vaccine before departure.

This is in accordance with the Circular of the Minister of Transportation Number 38 of 2022 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Domestic Travel by Land Transportation during the COVID-19 period, in which every land transportation traveler is required to receive a booster vaccine.

A passenger named Euis (24) said he was happy with the entertainment facilities at Kalideres Terminal. With this entertainment, passengers feel less sleepy to wait for the bus departure time.

"I'm very happy, so it's not easy to fall asleep. Because we bring things that must be taken care of. If you leave it to sleep, you're quite worried. This entertainment also doesn't make you bored while waiting," said Euis,

Euis also plans to use other facilities available at Kalideres Terminal, such as free medical facilities.
