BANDUNG - The Bandung Regency Transportation Office (Dishub) in West Java said that the return flow of vehicles for Eid al-Fitr was still crowded on a number of routes in the area until this afternoon.
The Coordinator of Public Relations for the Lebaran Security Post of the Bandung Regency Government, Ruddy Heryadi in Bandung, Thursday, said that the volume of vehicles passing through was still considered high even though it had passed the peak of the return flow on Lebaran H+3.
"This afternoon is relatively crowded, the same as yesterday, there is no spike. However, vehicles are quite crowded out of the Nagreg ring on H+5 until 17.00 WIB with as many as 70,026 vehicles passing by," he said as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, March 26.
He also explained that the total number of vehicles that had passed since H+1 to H+5 based on data from the Bandung Regency Dishub reached 587,318 units.
According to him, the trend of vehicle movement has increased since the beginning of the return flow, from H+1 with 103,427 vehicles to 148,266 vehicles on H+2 and reached the peak number on H+3 with a total of 149,030 vehicles.
Furthermore, vehicle traffic began to decrease on H+4 to 126,263 units and then decreased again on H+5 at 17.00 WIB.
It is explained that there is a percentage increase in vehicle movement at the beginning of the return flow before it finally subsides when compared to 2025.
"The peak is H+3 with an increase of 41.54 percent compared to last year, then H+4 by 0.18 percent, and H+5 to 17.00 WIB experienced a decrease of minus 0.47 percent," he said.
However, he said that vehicle traffic was still potentially occurring in the next few days as not all travelers had returned to their home areas.
"Vehicle movement will still occur, especially towards the end of the week because there are still returning travelers," he said.
Dishub also ensures that his party remains on standby to anticipate congestion by arranging traffic at a number of vulnerable points, alerting officers in the field, and coordinating with the police to ensure the smooth flow of vehicles during the return period.
