JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir ensured that 76 SOEs led by PT Jasa Raharja collaborated with each other to create a safe and comfortable free homecoming for the community.

Erick Thohir said the Eid Al-Fitr 2023 Homecoming program was a strategic step by the ministry to mitigate the potential risk of traffic accidents for travelers.

The homecoming program with 76 state-owned companies is expected to transfer travelers who use two-wheeled vehicles to a safer and more comfortable mode of transportation.

In addition, according to him, this free homecoming event is part of the BUMN to be present in the midst of society ahead of Eid. "This is part of BUMN to be present in helping people who want to go home and gather with their beloved families on a special day," said Erick Thohir in his statement, Thursday, March 16.

As for the number of travelers who departed for free by these 76 SOEs, there were 65,603 travelers.

This number will be dispatched to their hometowns using 3 public transportation.

Erick Thohir said the modes of transportation used to dispatch travelers were buses, ships, and trains.

The details are 46,523 passengers for buses and 15,658 passengers using trains, respectively. The quota sea ship passengers are 2,562 people.
