The return flow of Eid 1446 Hijri is still happening at Kampung Rambutan Terminal, East Jakarta. Since Sunday (4/13) until this morning at 6 AM, the number of arrivals from outside the province still touched 3,167 passengers.

Kampung Rambutan Bus Terminal Controller, Mulyono, conveyed that passengers arrived using 305 intercity interprovince (AKAP) buses.

"There are several factors that cause the Eid backflow is still high. First, people are extending their holiday period. Second, they are waiting for AKAP bus fares to return to normal," he explained.

Mulyono further detailed that from April 1 to 14, 2025, the terminal recorded a total of 69,698 arrivals with 3,869 AKAP buses. 

"For departures in the same period reaching 9,323 passengers using 1,111 buses. Currently, departures have returned to normal, with 431 passengers and 67 AKAP buses operating as of this morning," he added.

According to him, security officers have also returned to normal before Eid homecoming and return flows.

"Security was organized by internal terminal management assisted by police officers at Pospol, around 20 people per shift," he mentioned.

The night transportation (Amari), he informed, is still available, especially from Transjakarta bus Corridor VII (Kampung Rambutan-Kampung Melayu).

"Mikrotrans or Jak Lingko operates from 5 AM to 8 PM," he said.

One of the AKAP bus passengers who had just arrived from Tegal, Central Jakarta, Indah (21), admitted that she returned to Jakarta today because she was still on break and waiting for bus ticket prices to return to normal.

"This morning, the bus ticket from Tegal has dropped, although it was still Rp 195,000 per person. Normally, the highest fare is around Rp 120,000 per person. Alhamdulillah , the trip went smoothly," he expressed.
