Activities at Bakauheni Port, South Lampung, on D-6 Lebaran 2024 began to be crowded with public driving travelers and private vehicles.

There are hundreds of four-wheeled vehicles that crowded the Executive and Regular Pier of Bakauheni Port. Then hundreds of travelers from the four-wheeled vehicle crowded Bakauheni Port to wait for queues to enter the ship's deck.

The four-wheeled vehicle at Bakauheni Port was observed at 12.00 WIB to 14.00 WIB showing conditions that were busy smoothly, dominated by the Sumatran plate. However, several Javanese regional plates such as B, A, and D were also seen.

Although there is a density of four-wheeled vehicles in the parking pockets of executive and regular piers, it does not cause long traffic jams and runs smoothly.

One of the travelers from South Lampung to Bekasi (West Java), Firman, said he chose to go home early to avoid traffic jams at the port.

"Yes, choose to go home early to avoid traffic jams, usually when you start approaching Eid, you get bad traffic jams," he said.

He said the homecoming trip this time was very fun, where the process of traveling from home to the port had no obstacles.

"The journey is quite good, there are no road access that has holes, there are also a lot of police officers guarding, managing traffic," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, April 4.

General Manager of PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry Bakauheni Branch Rudi Sunarko in South Lampung, said that his party ensured the readiness of the ship's fleet to serve passenger mobilization during the Eid 2024 transportation period.

The addition of ships, he continued, was carried out so as not to build up at the peak of the homecoming flow from Sumatra Island to Java Island. His party has also prepared various port and ship facilities to ensure the comfort of passengers at this year's Eid homecoming.

"We have prepared seven piers for the dock, of which five regular piers and two executives, as well as comfort support facilities in the port area," he said.

ASDP urges ferry service users to buy Ferizy tickets from far away.

"We urge prospective travelers from Sumatra to Java who will use ASDP crossing services to buy tickets from far away," he said.

PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) has imposed a new provision for the purchase of connected ferry tickets since December 11, 2023.
