JAKARTA - The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) recorded more than 138,000 private cars and motorcycles leaving Jakarta ahead of Eid al-Fitr. This vehicle came out of the capital during the Eid al-Fitr 2021 homecoming ban.

"To this day it is recorded, especially private vehicles of cars and motorcycles, more than 138,000 cars per day out of Jakarta," said Ministry of Transportation spokeswoman Adita Irawati in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, May 11.

Adita also mentioned that motorcycles are quite a lot of trying to cross the jakarta sealing point. Some of the travelers who use private vehicles, do not even pocket a license or proof of health documents.

"Some are eligible, but some are also ngeyel, so we turn it around," he said.

From the latest data compiled by the Ministry of Transportation on air, sea and rail transportation is considered highly disciplined in complying with the ban on homecoming, with a decrease in mobilization by 77 percent.

In addition to aviation transportation, the decrease in mobilization is up to 93 percent and the train is up to 88 percent. This reflects the integration of good passenger screening.

In addition, the challenge for the government, namely in travelers who use private motorcycle vehicles. Currently, there are still travelers who try to break through the sealing even though it has been closely guarded.

"The challenge is that people choose a certain time where conditions are possible. Maybe the officers are not comparable to the travelers who want to pass by," he said.

Efforts to control the travelers still continue to be a tight material in the Ministry of Transportation, in addition to conducting random antigen swab tests at several sealing points.

Adita hopes that screening random antigen swab tests at homecoming sealing points can reduce the potential for transmission carried by travelers during the trip.
