JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan highlighted the density of travelers at Kalideres Terminal, West Jakarta, due to the late arrival of the bus fleet. The (awaited) bus hasn't arrived in Jakarta yet," said Anies when met in Kalideres, West Jakarta, Friday. Homecoming on D-3 Lebaran this time can run smoothly even though there is a density. Anies said the terminal and other related parties had coordinated for the availability of assistance buses to minimize waiting time for prospective passengers. Furthermore, Anies added that the capacity at the Kalideres Terminal was quite high, as in the year before the pandemic it could reach 7,000 passengers per day. Meanwhile, in the current homecoming flow, the highest number reached 2,374 people as of April 28, 2022. "It's not as high as before the pandemic, but it's also not as low as during the pandemic, which was only 100-200 a day," said Anies. According to Anies, this is driven by the enthusiasm of the community which is quite high, considering that this is the first year since 2020 to go home during a pandemic. "(The majority) they last year of going home is 2019, so there is an extraordinary longing to return home, but also a longing for a joint trip," said Anies. When asked about the evaluation and readiness of the DKI Provincial Government ahead of the peak of the homecoming flow this year, Anies explained that the volume of travelers was lower than before the pandemic, so that the number of vehicles and infrastructure available was relatively ready to accommodate travelers." In general, we are ready. Currently the number of passengers is large but the number of buses has not arrived. When they arrive they are immediately ready to leave pick up," he said.
