JAKARTA - The Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the National Police stated that the number of vehicles that had returned to the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi or Jabodetabek areas on the 2025 Eid backflow reached 60 to 70 percent.

The percentage is based on the results of backflow monitoring as of Monday, April 7, 2025. The average number of vehicles entering the Jakarta area reaches 5,000 to 7,000 vehicles.

"We report that until this morning the projection of backflow is approximately 2.2 million, approximately 1,375,000 vehicles have entered Jakarta," said Head of Traffic Police, Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho, quoted on Tuesday, April 8.

In addition, Dirgakkum Korlantas Polri, Brigadier General Raden Slamet Santoso said his party would continue to monitor traffic flow on toll roads, especially the potential for vehicles from Kalikangkung, Pejagan, Palimanan, Cipularang, and Cileunyi directions.

"As of 18.00 (Monday, April 7) almost 65 to 70 percent of vehicles have returned to Jabodetabek," said Slamet.

"We continue to monitor it, including the rise from Cipularang, Cileunyi. So the average is almost 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles," he continued.

The potential for revival is also related to the decision of the Ministry of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (Kemenpan RB) which enforces flexible work arrangements or flexible work arrangements (WFA) for the state civil apparatus (ASN) on April 8.

On the other hand, Slamet said there was a decrease in the number of accidents during the 2025 homecoming. The number decreased by 27 to 30 percent compared to last year.

"That indeed, with the new patterns, the results of last year's Eid evaluation were then the evaluation of Nataru yesterday so that we collaborated on Eid this year and Alhamdulillah there were new patterns, one of which was that during the implementation of traffic engineering we not only diverted traffic flow but also we used contraflow and what was only done this year was with a local one way," said Slamet.
