LAMPUNG - The police will order the Lebaran 2023 homecoming vehicles that do not have tickets when entering Bakauheni Port, Lampung, to turn around.

"For users of the Bakauheni Port crossing service who do not have a ticket when entering the ASDP area, they will be reversed," said South Lampung Police Chief AKBP Edwin, Wednesday, March 29, quoted by Antara.

He asked all Bakauheni-Merak Ferry service users to have a boat ticket before entering the port area.

"For the brothers (homecoming) who will travel back and forth to Java Island, it is hoped that they will have a ship ticket before entering the port," said the Police Chief.

He also said that ASDP no longer sells ship tickets in the port area, and if a vehicle enters without having a ticket, it will be reversed.

"Because now ASDP no longer sells ship tickets in the port area, and those who have already entered Bakauheni Port without having a ticket will be turned back," he said.

He said, for prospective travelers who will buy boat tickets, ASDP has prepared at several ticket sales points.

"For this reason, homecoming travelers can get boat tickets via ferry online or can be purchased at Alfamart, and Indomaret, or shops that have been approved with ASDP," he explained.

Previously, PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) Corporate Secretary, Shelvy Arifin, appealed to crossing service users to be able to buy ferry tickets from far away.

"I appeal back to service users who will go home, that there will be no more ticket sales at the port, our tickets can be purchased H-60 before departure," said Shelvy.

He said that to this day tickets have not been ordered too much, because he said, ASDP will continue to disseminate information regarding ticket purchases from far away.

"We think that socialization still has to continue to be carried out that there is no ticket sales at the port, so all service users are expected to have purchased tickets before entering the port at least one day before the departure ticket," he said.
