Meanwhile, Ucok (40), the owner of the PO CSH counter, said that the largest number of backflow passengers was on Saturday and Sunday, and even on Sunday, his party added a fleet of one medium bus to dispatch all passengers.

"The passengers who boarded the Simpang Nangka Terminal came from Rejang Lebong Regency and Lebong Regency. All of these passengers were destined for Jakarta's Kalideres Terminal," he explained.

The passengers who boarded the PO CSH heading Curup (Rejang Lebong)-Jakarta, he added, were charged a ticket according to the Tuslah fare of Rp. 600,000 per person. This ticket price is valid until Tuesday 10 May and will return to normal at IDR 450,000 per person.

According to him, this year's Eid season, the number of homecomers has returned to normal or has returned to being as busy as before the COVID-19 pandemic, considering that in the past two years there have been no homecomers due to restrictions by the government due to the spread of the deadly virus.
