JAKARTA - A number of motorbike travelers passing by on Jalan Raya Kalimalang, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta-Bekasi, attracted attention with funny writings on their luggage.
"Buk, sir, your son is back but Ora Gowo Mantu," wrote one of the travelers on the back of his motorbike, quoted from Antara, Saturday, April 30.
Another motorbike traveler, Hamin said that he deliberately wrote funny words 'going home to your hometown, not to your ex's heart. Tangerang-Bumiayu via Ukraine' in his luggage to entertain fellow travelers during the trip.
"To entertain other people and make fun, just put up paper. Just started walking tonight because I just got a day off from work," Hamin said in Jakarta, Friday.
Hamin added that he had to travel about nine hours by motorbike to his hometown in Brebes, Central Java.
Hamin said the funny writing that he put on his luggage was a way to forget about being tired during the trip to his hometown.
"Indeed, usually every Eid I go home on a motorbike. This is my luggage, I carry gifts, parcels for my family in the village," said Hamin.
Head of Duren Sawit Police Homecoming Security Post, Ipda Junaedi Effendi said the volume of vehicles passing on Jalan Raya Kalimalang had increased by 75 percent on Friday night or D-3 Lebaran.
The increase in the volume of vehicles is due to the large number of motorbike, car, and travel travelers who choose to go back and forth after breaking their fast until midnight.
"At night, Tarawih prayers usually end. If it's crowded in the afternoon, it's usually residents who live in Jakarta. If it's crowded at night, the goal is going home," said Junaedi.
He estimates that the peak of the homecoming flow on Jalan Raya Kalimalang will occur on Saturday 30 April or D-2 Lebaran.
