Those who plan to use their own vehicles (two-wheeled or four-wheeled) reach 40 million, while those who prefer to use public transportation by land numbered around 26 million and by air around 8 million. Some 8 million people plan to travel by train while 1.1 million by sea.

“Thus, we are coordinating with stakeholders, especially with the National Police to ensure that all preparations are in place,” continued Budi.

To anticipate the Eid exodus surge, Budi said the government has prepared 57,000 buses, 205 ships, and 327 aircrafts.

He predicts the peak to fall on April 29-30. Meanwhile, the return trips are estimated to take place a week after Eid, on May 8. (dra)
