Based on data from ASDP as of Friday, April 30 to Saturday, May 1, there was a surge in passengers from Merak Port, both two-wheeled vehicles, four-wheeled vehicles, and buses bound for Sumatra Island considering the ban on going home from May 6 to May 17.
The police said this initial spike was a sign that many had shifted their homecoming time and had become an evaluation material for the Lampung Regional Police's jurisdiction to anticipate any backflow to Java Island.
