JAKARTA - A total of 2,808 passengers departed from the Lebak Bulus terminal, South Jakarta during the Christmas 2023 and New Year 2024 holidays. This number increased compared to normal conditions, an average of 70 passengers per day.
"Even Sunday (December 24) departures reached 495 passengers, on average above 200 passengers from H-6 Christmas," said Lebak Bulus Terminal Head Iman Syafril in Jakarta, Wednesday, December 27. Imam said that this figure is the highest in the past week. As for today, the number of passengers has not been recapitulated. He also said that passengers departing from Lebak Bulus Terminal are dominated by the destination of Central Java and East Java. "The total fleet that has been dispatched until now is 407 buses. So far it is still sufficient to serve passengers who will travel to a number of areas," said Imam. Imam added, his party could not confirm the possibility of a surge in the number of passengers on New Year's Eve 2024.
"The spike occurred on December 22 and 23, possibly because during school children's holidays most people visit tourist attractions so that there may not be much for homecoming," he said.

Regarding the fleet, Imam explained, his party continues to check the feasibility of vehicles (check ramp) and driver's health checks. "There are as many as 59 drivers who we checked for complete health with urine tests. As a result, all drivers were declared healthy," he said. As for the feasibility of inter-provincial Intercity Buses (AKAP), there were 38 vehicles that had been checked during the 2023 Christmas and 2024 New Year holidays. Of that number, 28 buses were declared roadworthy and 10 others were not roadworthy. Category does not run lightly are buses that are incomplete supporting facilities such as no first aid box in the accident (P3K). "After finding P3K, we did not have the management to complete it on that day, in the end all roads are roadworthy," said Imam.
