JAKARTA - The number of passengers at Kalideres Terminal, West Jakarta (Jakbar), is predicted to reach 3,000 people on D-6 Lebaran 2024 on Thursday 4 April.

Head of Kalideres Terminal, Revi Zulkarnaen said, until 11.00 WIB the number of passengers at Kalideres Terminal had reached 915 passengers.

"Today at 11.00 WIB, it is recorded that 915 passengers have departed and it is predicted that today there will be approximately 3,000 passengers," said Revi when contacted in Jakarta.

The favorite destinations for passengers from the terminal are Central Java and Padang (West Sumatra) and Palembang (South Sumatra). "For the favorite destinations, Central Java, Padang and Palembang are still," said Revi.

Revi said that according to the prediction of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) the peak of this year's homecoming flow will occur on D-4 or D-3 Lebaran 2024.

"This year it is estimated that the peak of homecoming is on D-4 or D-3, 6 or 7 April, which can reach 7,000 to 7,500 passengers," said Revi.

This prediction figure is far more than the number of passengers at the peak of the homecoming flow in 2023. "In 2023, the existing data shows that the peak of the homecoming flow is D-3 Lebaran with 5,655 passengers," said Revi.

In addition, in 2024, bus users for homecoming are predicted to reach 27 percent.

"Because if I'm not mistaken, 27 percent use buses, on top of them use trains. Under the use of buses, private vehicles are used," said Revi.
