JAKARTA - The manager of Lebak Bulus Terminal, South Jakarta, predicts that the peak of the 2025 Eid homecoming flow will occur on D-3 or to be precise Friday, March 28. Head of Lebak Bulus Terminal, Iman Syafril, stated that his party had made various preparations to deal with a surge in passengers which is estimated to reach 400 people per day, compared to normal days of only about 150 people.

"The peak of the homecoming flow is estimated to be March 28, 2025 or D-3," Iman told reporters in Jakarta, Friday, March 21.

To ensure the smoothness and safety of the travelers' journey, Lebak Bulus Terminal has prepared various supporting facilities such as health posts, vehicleworthiness checks or 'ramp checks', as well as free treatment for drivers and passengers.

In addition, the South Jakarta National City Narcotics Agency (BNNK) was also involved in conducting urine tests on bus drivers to ensure they were not under the influence of drugs during the trip.

In order to face Lebaran 1446 Hijri homecoming, the 'ramp check' activity will begin on Friday, March 21 and will last until Sunday, March 30. The inspection includes various physical aspects of the vehicle, such as the brake system, steering wheel, lights, and other important components related to safety.

This 'ramp check' process involves 53 joint officers from the South Jakarta Transportation Agency, the Jagakarsa Motor Vehicle Testing Management Unit (UP PKB), and the South Jakarta Health Sub-dept. Not only carried out on the homecoming flow, this inspection will also be held again on backflow from Wednesday, April 2 to Friday, April 11, 2025.

Meanwhile, based on 2024 data, the majority of passengers from Lebak Bulus Terminal have a homecoming destination to the Central Java area. Iman hopes that with the various preparations that have been made, the travelers' journey can be safe, comfortable, and smooth.

"We prioritize the safety and comfort of passengers. Therefore, we will continue to monitor the feasibility of vehicles and the health condition of the driver," concluded Iman.
