Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi appealed to employers to pay their holiday allowance obligations (THR) to their employees before April 19, 2023.

Budi said that the THR was needed so that the workers could also go home early. The reason is, Budi suggested that Eid leave for Eid al-Fitr be moved forward for two days, to April 19 from April 21.

One thing we urge, especially regarding the private sector, is to give THR earlier. So that on the 18th (April) it is certain that they have received the THR and they can travel from 18 (April) night," he said at a press conference at the State Palace, quoted from the Presidential Secretariat, Friday, March 24.

Furthermore, Budi said that traditionally the desire of travelers is very high this year. Therefore, he proposed that the joint leave be pushed forward in order to reduce congestion during homecoming.

"If you look at it, it is focused on only the 21st, then there will be an extraordinary buildup. So that by advancing it, travelers can start from 18 afternoons, 19, 20, and 21. There are four days they go home," he explained.

Budi said that based on the results of his analysis, the origin of this year's travelers mostly came from East Java (East Java). Meanwhile, the most homecoming destinations are Central Java.

Furthermore, Budi said that of the total number of travelers this year, 22 percent will go home for private cars and 20 percent with two wheels or a motorbike.

"Well, the Cipali route is one that has the highest level of congestion and we have to use intensive traffic engineering," he said.
