JAKARTA - Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumardi said he was worried after seeing the data on vehicles returning to Java from Sumatra. The reason is, based on data, only 40 percent of vehicles returned from Sumatra.
That means, there are still 60 percent who have not crossed to the island of Java in the return flow of Lebaran 2022. According to him, this is an alarming number.
This is reflected in the Lebaran 2022 homecoming flow some time ago. As is known, there was a traffic jam of up to 10 kilometers at the Merak Port due to the large number of vehicles trying to cross to the island of Sumatra.
"You can imagine if 45 thousand or 50 thousand vehicles move on the same day, this will be a serious problem because the service may not be good," said Minister of Transportation Budi Karya, as quoted by Antara.
He was worried that the severe traffic jam that had occurred at Merak Port during the homecoming flow would reoccur during the return flow at Lampung's Bakauheni Port.
Therefore, he continued, in accordance with what was conveyed by the National Police Chief Gen. Pol Listyo Sigit Prabowo that travelers who were going to Jakarta or Java should not return at the same time tomorrow or Sunday, May 8.
"Delay his return, not tomorrow, but he can return on Monday or Tuesday so he doesn't get stuck in traffic jams," he said.
