Eid Al-Adha Holiday, 11 Thousand Vehicles Predicted To Cross GT Kramasan

Eid al-Adha (ANTARA) Homecoming

JAKARTA - The number of vehicles crossing the Trans Sumatra Toll Road via the Kramasan Toll Gate (GT), Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra, on Eid al-Adha 1444 Hijri is predicted to reach 11 thousand units. "The “Puncak travel flow takes place Wednesday, June 28, 2023 or the day before Eid al-Adha," said Operational Manager of the Trans Sumatra Toll Road (JTTS) of the Kayuagung-Palembang PT Waskita Sriwijaya Tol, Sabdo Harimurti in Palembang, quoted from ANTARA, Wednesday, June 28. Waskita Sriwijaya Tol predicts that the number of vehicles during the Eid al-Adha holiday at the JTTS Kayuagung-Palembang section, South Sumatra, through GT Kramasan, will increase by around 15 percent compared to normal days. According to Sabdo, this volume increase occurred either vehicles passing through from the direction of Palembang City (South Sumatra) and its surroundings or those leaving the direction of Lampung Province. "This increase is also influenced by the momentum of school children's holidays and student holidays," he said. He said the company had prepared additional portable substations to minimize excessive queues that could potentially be an obstacle during the Eid homecoming period at GT Kramasan.

The addition was made from the beginning that GT Kramasan only had two portable substation units and two substations exited, to three substations entering and four substations leaving. In addition, during the Eid holiday, the functional rest area is open at KM 360 Line B with a minimum facility, each with toilets, parking, prayer rooms and MSME outlets. "The road service is also a priority and in good condition so that travelers are safer and more comfortable safe until the destination crosses the Kayuagung-Palembang toll road," he said.
